This pearl of the country triangle formed by France, Germany and Belgium combines the profits of a provincial town with the mondaine air of his mondial population. It has a proud indepence state and an open view on the world. Home affairs are neatly arranged with an important role on European politics.
The contrast between provincial and metropolitan is even seen in the ducal country, despite the fact that some say Luxembourg country is little more than the capital. Almost a quarter of the whole of the country lives in Luxembourg city. Main employers are banks, insurance- and trade companies.
The European institutes of politics have grown to an economical factor that cannot be denied, and trade in money and tourism are also a factor.
The location of Luxembourg is unique. It is built on a flat rock, high above the deep gorges through which the river Alzette and Petrusse flow. A series of imposing bridges and viaducts connect the different parts of the city.
But one day, Siegfried's curiosity got the better of him. Wondering what on Earth she might be doing alone all the time, he peeped through the keyhole, and was shocked to see that Melusina was lying in the bathtub, with a fishtail hanging over the rim. As you all know, mermaids like Melusina, have a very keen sixth sense, which tells them instantly that they are being watched, and thus she recognised her husband through the door, and jumped out of the window into the river Alzette below, never to be seen again ... except every now and then, some people say they saw a beautiful girl's head pop out of the river, and a fishtail rippling the calm waters of the river Alzette. <BR>We visited Luxembourg city again last April/May. This time we just strowled through the city, going from high to low city. See t-logue for photographs I took this time!

Nice page, brought back some lovely memories. Though I spent only one day there I managed to see a lot.
nice page - I have to visit your other pages of the country as well
My nose?? Probably a brand new zit croppin' up on the right hand side, and man does it hurt!!~
I really enjoyed your pictures i was wondering if you have anymore of Diekirch and the surounding area or if you know where i can find some.
I love Luxembourg - what a great page! It is an unexpected surprise and I plan on going back soon!
Enjoyed reading your page. I agree with the train being funny for children. Looking forward to visit.
Great pictures - especially in the travelogue. What does the mermaid do in Winter? Hit her head on ice? Happy Birthday!!
Interesting pages and great pics !
Been there a few times and never thought that there's so much to see. I'll have to go back again. Great page Roelien and especially I liked the pictures.
