Treat Mum to…shopping in Lille: Mum never seems to take time for herself so why not treat her to a break in Lille, France’s third largest city and a destination growing in popularity due to its museums and shopping outlets. For culture vultures, the Musée des Beaux Arts houses a fine collection of paintings by Reubens, Goya and Picasso, whilst shopping enthusiasts are spoilt for choice from the ultra modern Euralille commercial complex to the traditional street markets. The Carlton Hotel is considered Lille’s finest and is located opposite the Opera House and historic stock exchange.

Start the weekend off in style by treating mum to dinner onboard SeaFrance at its acclaimed waiter service La Brasserie and sample some of the great regional dishes that France has to offer.
