Luxembourg City Lovers Group

Each year in Luxembourg and indeed across Europe on the first Sunday of lent bonfires are lit to chase away winter.
This is an ancient and indeed UNESCO recognized tradition that goes back to pagan times.

Fortunately, it’s also accompanied by food soup and, of course, crémant.

This year I am targetingProtected content but the final destination may change depending upon parking and public transport.
I am also hoping that some of our Luxembourg friends will turn up to explain the tradition.
Details are a little patchy so also be prepared for the time to change.

Time to revisit Protected content . And maybe even the Terrace. There will be a revisit.

For those that don't know, Protected content is another Luxembourg Icon with an English character. Pints, burning log fires on a lovely terrace overlooking the river with spectacular views of the fortifications and Guinness.
We will meet up at 19:30 on Friday. They sell wine and soft drinks.

Don't be shy if you are new, I will ensure you feel at home. And don't worry if you don't want to drink alcohol. There is a tap in the bathroom :).

Spring might not officially begin until March 19th with the vernal equinox, but meteorologists and climatologists consider March 1st the beginning of spring!

So, let's go back to the Meteorologists and Climatologists and have dinner to celebrate. And we can do it again on the 19th. And where better to celebrate thanProtected content

Since our last event was very successful, and a lot of us walked away with some lovely newfound treasures, I decided to do a repeat.

The idea is simple: we bring any items that we want to get rid off but are still in a very good condition and we exchange for new items that we like and want to take home 😁
Please kindly bring washed and preferably ironed clothes, any accessories or home goods that you think someone can still use and enjoy.

The event will be held in Protected content

I will serve wine and snacks, but please feel free to bring anything to eat or drink you would like to share🍻😁🍛🥐🥨🧁🍩🍪🍷🍷🍾🥂🍻🍸🍹☕

As it's Wednesday, named after the Norse God Odin, (no, not the guy in the Marvel films) then it's time to meet up for an after-work snack and a drink. I have searched high and low in Luxembourg for somewhere smart, sophisticated, architecturally beautiful, and cheap.
And of course, failed. No where in Luxembourg is cheap! So I have settled forProtected content
And what's the event? Well, it's literally an after-work; My last working day in NATO. You don't get after-works like that very often.

Let's meet in Limpertburg's iconic Protected content for beer cremonte, flamkuken and their infamous burger. Chips [Fries]? No problem. Sel, Rosemary Garlic. You get the picture. Even couples are welcome. But please save the cow eyes for later.

Our regular meet up at Protected content will introduce you to Limpertsburg culture. It's at the bottom of a glass! Last time we had a fabulous evening and were the last to leave! That tells you something.

Living in Luxembourg has so many advantages, one of which is the close proximity to other beautiful capitals in Europe 🇪🇺
I am planning a one-day trip to Paris, as it's only 2h by train 😁
So if you want to spend a wonderful day in the (fashion) capital of the world, join in!
We can work out the travel details and a plan, once we have a group.

I am definitely thinking of a coffee or glass of wine in Place Vandome...are you too ? 😎☕🍷🍛🥂🍹

For those staying dry, your journey is over. Following the success of our Friday visit to Protected content , there will be a revisit.

For those that don't know, Protected content is another Luxembourg Icon with an English character. Pints, burning log fire's and Guinness. We will meet up at 19:30 on Friday. They sell pints of IPA.

And did you know what IPA means? Indian Pale Ale. Developed to quench the thirst of British Troops in India during the empire. Now for some reason terribly fashionable. Don't ask me why. Guinness is far more politically correct, if they have not run out.

Don't be shy if you are new, I will ensure you feel at home. And don't worry if you don't want to drink alcohol. There is a tap in the bathroom :).
