That means is that each clue actually directed us to a different location plus, arguably, shared little nuggets with your of history and a touch of folklore, actually it was also pretty great. At times, we were scratching our heads a little. However, the friendly competition between teams did add some extra spice to our quest!

Beer Tasting Interludes

The treasure hunt was then, naturally, punctuated by the chance to try some local brews. That wasn’t simply some random, that is, run-of-the-mill selection, it wasn’t, that Old Lille does feature a surprising amount of independent breweries with loads, perhaps, even quite a few different types of beers. These little interludes, specifically beer breaks, did actually supply a fantastic way to, kind of, rejuvenate or even regroup while, in some respects, discovering the regional flavors and what a particular brewery actually is about! Each brew was served with this quick explanation of, arguably, the specific flavors and its local heritage, too it’s almost informative too.
