Luxembourg

Discover the wonder of Luxenbourg

Nestled between its more famous neighbors, Luxembourg is a relatively undiscovered wonder. It has a high income per capita…and for gastronomic enthusiasts, it has a high concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants. There is also so much distinctive architecture here there will be lots to see and do. In the lush, rolling countryside there are picturesque castles tucked into forests in the Ardennes Mountains in the north.

Did you guess this was where I was going, from last week’s photo? Here I am in the heart of Europe—if not geographically then at least spiritually.

Come evening in Paris, free concerts in every arrondissement will be yours for the taking. Check out what’s going on in France (and elsewhere in Europe) by looking at www.fetedelamusique.culture.fr, or www.paris.fr for the Paris program.
