Luxemburg

Luxemburg

Luxemburg is about a fourty five minute train ride from Metz, France. It's a small city, and we were able to see all the main sites in about a few hours walking. There are also several shops that kept us busy. The history of Luxemburg is very interesting. Because of its geographical location between France, Germany, and Belgium, several countries had been in dispute over the control of this region. While conflicts have been occuring for over a thousand years, the most recent country to invade was Germany, in both WWI and WWII. However, Luxemburg has been at peace ever since the end of WWII. Nonetheless, as a result of all this, over the past hundred years one-fourth of Luxemburg's population has moved to the United States.
