Located between Germany, Belgium and France, Luxembourg is a very small state belonging to the European Union and covering just over 500 000 inhabitants, the size of a medium-sized French city.

It is a dynamic country, a financial and economic centre of significant size, a very prosperous country and the meeting point of a strong multiculturalism: if Luxembourg has three official languages, German, French and Luxembourgish, its capital, Luxembourg-City has more than 40% of foreigners at the crossroads of Latin and Germanic cultures. In terms of tourism, the country focuses its promotion both on the preservation of its natural space, which makes it a real green lung, judging by the tourist brochures, but also on the historical heritage of which it is the happy heiress. A family destination par Excellence, Luxembourg can thus be discovered on foot, on horseback... or by bicycle: the country, which stretches over 2587 square kilometres, has a cycling network of 600 kilometres and some 20 signposted and completely safe cycle paths, to which are added 300 kilometres of mountain bike routes. The Luxembourg Ardennes are emblematic of this luxuriant nature that can be explored through several means of transport: deep valleys, high plateaus surmounted by meadows or schist rocks characterise the landscapes of this region which also includes the Haute-Sûre and Our Natural Parks. This natural wealth is also accessible within the Moselle Luxembourgeoise region, separated by Germany by this river of 42 kilometres. Thanks to its sunny slopes, this region also has a long wine-growing tradition and lovers of well-being also have the opportunity to visit the Mondorf-les-Bains thermal estate, which is also the only spa resort in Luxembourg. Be careful however to go to Luxembourg at the right time: rain falls frequently throughout the year and the most pleasant months remain those from May to September when the temperature can reach 26 degrees. The Grand Duchy is also visited for its cultural capital. One only has to immerse oneself in the Mullerthal Region, also known as Luxembourg's Little Switzerland, to appreciate this wealth. In Echternach, which is also the oldest town in the country, tourists will enjoy visiting the Romanesque Basilica and the crypt with tomb of St Willibrord, bishop of Utrecht in the 7th century AD and founder of Echternach Abbey. And there is also Luxembourg City, the capital of the Grand Duchy, the economic and financial lung of the country but a city of contrasts: its exuberant dynamism, which is reflected by the presence of numerous international companies, 200 financial companies and the presence of some 150 nationalities, should not make us forget that this city is nestled in the heart of a green and peaceful countryside and that it also possesses historical monuments of all beauty..: Its former fortress, whose construction dates back to the ninth century, is one of the protected sites since it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As an economic capital, Luxembourg City also benefits from the most complete transport infrastructure: in addition to Luxembourg-Findel international airport located 6 kilometres north-east of Luxembourg, it also has a TGV station. Not far from this city, shopping enthusiasts will be delighted to discover Beltrange, which contains City Concorde, one of the largest shopping centres in the country with a hundred shops in succession: from jewellers to perfumeries, restaurants and bookshops. Whether as a family or alone, going to Luxembourg is like discovering a small country whose existence is often unknown. Wrongly, as we have just demonstrated.
