Resilience in the face of adversity is quintessentially French, and nowhere is this more evident than in the North of France. With its open borders to Belgium, this region has historically been an easy corridor for invaders, making cities like Lille a testament to endurance through countless conflicts.

Join me on a special expedition on the occasion of European Victory Day (8th May), Bastille Day (14th July), and Armistice Day (11th November) to explore these historic grounds. Experience the scars of past wars alongside sites that celebrate the extraordinary bravery and solidarity of individuals and communities who stood firm in times of despair.
