Accomodation
We will be staying at HI Hostel Lille. This is in the heart of Lille, within walking distance of the old town, the park and the shopping centres. The building is modern and offers a full range of amenities including pool tables, vending machines and a cafe. Student rooms are between 3 and 6 beds, and they are provided with pillows and duvets and lockers for storing their items. Each room also has its own shower.
The hostel is open to the public, however it has space for 196 rooms, of which we will be occupying 150. In previous years we have occupied entire floors of the hostel to ourselves. Every room is locked via a key card, which students will be responsible for. Teachers will be based on every floor where students are accommodated.
