Luxembourg: A Stroll along Grand Rue to the Notre Dame Cathedral with Views over the Gorge

A guest post from Roy Mathias

Grand Rue is a pedestrian thoroughfare in the center of Luxembourg, with lots to see if you slow down.

 

 

Notice the water spurting out of holes in the sculpture!

There was a definite folksy woodlands theme in some of the display windows

 

Most were more glitzy.  This wonderful display was promoting a single red bag, which is in the center of the photo and rather indistinct.

T

his lovely turret was on an ordinary building

We finish the day with a delicious and very filling Pere Noel Stollen.
