I have 48 hours in Lille at the weekend as we've got tickets for the rugby on Saturday night. Staying in Old Lille. Any must sees?

I enjoyed Palais des Beaux Arts and thought it was very good value for an art musuem in Europe - I think it was about €10 an adult including the extra exhibitions.

There was a cool book market in the inner courtyard of the Vieille Bourse, which is a beautiful building to look at.

Patisserie Méert is iconic and a gorgeous building.
