Florent Ladeyn, Lille-based TV chef
I am truly passionate about football. I am looking forward to watching the matches in Lille. I will do everything I can to attend France v Switzerland. We are also proud to be welcoming world champions Germany. Having two venues in the region [Lens is 40km away] will attract a lot of tourists. We'll certainly be fully booked in the restaurant!
