Palas des Beaux Arts, located not far from the city centre of Lille, is touted as the number two art collection outside of Paris. Hmmm, really?

And voila, almost all the employees were busy chatting among themselves; the visitors were just a disruption to their endless chit chat with each other. Some female attendants were so animated in their exchanges that they might as well have a soiree on their own. However, there were few rules, and visitors could get as close to the paintings and sculptures as they like, which was a bonus.
