After having visited Clervaux and Vianden of the tiny European country, the capital city was the last stop of our weekend travel to Luxembourg out of Paris. Everyday, as a relaxed cosmopolitan, Luxembourg City is receiving many tourists as well as European business and political elite.

To get started with the city walk, we parked the rental car not far away from the Clairefontaine Square. Right in the centre of the square is the statue of Grand Duchess Charlotte (a popular ruler of Luxembourg from 1919 to 1964).

While we were driving down the hill heading for Vianden(we visited Clervaux the day before), a fairy-tale castle on a hilltop came into sight. That’s the Vianden Castle, probably the most visited tourist destination in Luxembourg.

My friend and I decided to first check out the town and find a place for breakfast. We parked the car at a car park right beside the River Our. The riverside view was great with the houses by the banks and the hillside, the splendid landscape of Ardennes as well as the castle at the background.

It was at one of the weekends, during our stay in Paris, a friend and I rented a car to travel to Luxembourg. Our first stop was Clervaux, a peaceful and cosy town in the northern part of that little landlocked country which shares the borders with Belgium, France and Germany.

Clervaux started as a village during the middle ages and then turned into a market town. It’s a good place to spend a few hours to see what it has to offer as a medieval town without the tourist buses (at least, I didn’t see any).
