Press Release: Bag a Braderie bargain

Wednesday 20th August 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Put on your most comfortable shoes, grab your biggest handbag and get ready for the shopping event of the year. It’s time for Lille Braderie 2008. Prices from £329 per person for 2 nights.

For one weekend only, 6th – 7th September 2008, you can be a part of Europe’s largest flea market, when up to 2 million happy shoppers take to Lille’s cobbled streets for music, street performances and 100 km of treasure filled stalls.

The official fuel of this shopping extravaganza is of course Moules-Frites; with 500 tons of mussels consumed in 2007. If you come across mountains of empty mussel shells you may be in the middle of Lille’s annual competition to build the highest pile.

So if you want to be the proud owner of the perfect antique, handbag and necklace,  visit Lille with Railbookers and stay at the modern 4* Crowne Plaza Lille from £329 per person for 2 nights, including breakfast and return Eurostar travel.
