Our outbound Rotary Youth Exchange student Carmel has received advice that she is off to Lille, France.
Lille is the capital of the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, near the border with Belgium. A cultural hub and bustling university city today, it was once an important merchant center of French Flanders, and many Flemish influences remain. The historic center, Vieux Lille, is characterized by 17th-century brick town houses, cobbled pedestrian streets and the large central square.
For comparison with Carmel's hometown of Trundle, Lille has a population of about 240,000 people in just 34km2, compared to Trundle's 340 people, and 1.2million live in the wider Lille arrondissement (879km2) compared to Parkes shire's 15,000 people in 2,285km2.
