Discover the secrets of Luxembourg: 111 places that inspire!

On May 23, 2025, two new books will be presented that deal with the riches of Luxembourg and Provence in southern France. In her work “111 must-see places in Luxembourg”, author Susanne Jaspers takes readers on a tour of discovery through the diverse Grand Duchy. On around 230 pages, it presents 111 places that many locals and new residents may not have gotten to know before. The style is loose, precise and often with an ironic undertone, making the reading both informative and entertaining. In addition to historical anecdotes, the book offers practical information on addresses, opening times and directions, making it ideal for travelers who want to explore culture, art and nature in Luxembourg.

The range of recommended places ranges from castles and palaces to museums, breweries, wine cellars, gardens and culinary insider tips. An additional highlight is the map included in the book, which allows for easy orientation. Jaspers combines facts with a personal touch, making the book a non-conventional travel guide. The author focuses on both newcomers and local residents who want to discover their country from a new perspective, giving the book a broader appeal.

Insights into Provence

The second book, “Le sud n’aime pas les anges” by Isabelle Costantini, reports a fictional story that combines elements from the author’s autobiography. In around 160 pages we tell the story of Marie, a single mother who moves to Provence with her daughter Chiara. This work deals with the deep longings for a life in harmony with nature, coupled with the challenges that come with it. The poetic and philosophical style conveys a thoughtful depth and encourages reflection on passion, human-animal relationships, and the balance between ideals and their realization.

Marie confronts both internal and external conflicts, which strengthen her resilience. The story ends in a reflection on hatred and the constant striving for balance between dreams and reality. This book appeals to readers interested in the deeper human experience and the challenges of life. It impresses with a thoughtful and emotional narrative tone that immerses us in the protagonist's thoughts.

Luxembourg's natural beauties

Both works leave the reader with a desire to explore the places depicted for themselves. Luxembourg's geographical diversity is a perfect companion for every traveler's heart. The capital, Luxembourg City, is surrounded by the picturesque Guttland, which impresses with its rolling meadows and gently curving streets. A highlight of the region is the characteristic Valley of the Seven Castles, which combines time travel and relaxation.

Additionally, the Éislek, also known as the Luxembourg Ardennes, offers sweeping views and impressive castles that encourage hiking. The Müllerthal region, with its fairytale rock formations, attracts outdoor enthusiasts, while the Moselle region in the eastern part of the country leads hikers between vineyards and local specialties. The village of Schengen in particular is considered a symbol of modern Europe and offers rich cultural experiences.

In the south of Luxembourg, on the other hand, Minett, also known as the Land of the Red Earth, offers a fascinating combination of industrial heritage, contemporary culture and nature worth protecting. This mix makes Luxembourg an attractive destination for travelers who want to discover both nature and cultural heritage.
