What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than a short hop across the Channel to stock up on some unique gifts? As well as time in Lille, we head to the delightful Christmas markets in pretty Bruges and Arras, both of which are set against picturesque backdrops. Enjoy the exquisite sight of medieval buildings illuminated by twinkling lights and traditional stalls that entice visitors with their delicious specialities, colourful crafts and charming stocking fillers.
