Solo weekend in Lille - any Covid safe tips?

Post date: 2020-09-16 03:05:19

I'm going to be in Lille, northern France, and totally free of commitments from Friday lunchtime until Sunday lunchtime. How can I amuse myself while social distancing? Also, I'm quite anxious about going to restaurants or hanging out in a bar solo, can anyone set my mind at rest?

I'm staying in a studio apartment with a kitchen near Gambetta Metro Station, about ten minutes walk from the Lille-Flandres TGV Station.

Things I like:
Wandering around looking at buildings, especially modernist / post-modernist / brutalist architecture
People watching and cafe culture
Weird and wonderful museums and art galleries
Street art
Local food and cooking new stuff from the supermarket
Being in greenery and wildlife watching
Learning the history of a place
Long walks (at some point I hope to meet up with a friend for a walk, so any suggested routes would be wonderful)
City views

Not bothered about shopping, guided tours or queueing up to do anything too touristy.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
