Luxembourg: History, Landscape, and Traditions

Review "Luxembourg traces the love affair between the Grand Duchy and our fellow journalist. It's also a complete exploration, from a historical as well as touristic perspective, of Luxembourg. A meandering journey which begins in a capital with many faces and takes the reader across a small country whose variety and diversity of landscapes are surprising. Fascinating from start to end... A work you will browse avidly, astonished at the beauty of the places featured. The distinctly artistic and rather tranquil photos, almost still lifes, end up conferring upon this destination an element of timelessness." --Le Figaro Product Description Discover the magic of Luxembourg with this homage to the country’s rich history, diverse culture, and beautiful landscapes.
