Photos of the week in Luxembourg

Last weekend’s spring temperatures were the ideal invitation to visit the capital’s ‘flea market’, which took place in Place Guillaume II. The photos, which you can see in the gallery below, show the diversity of products sold at this open-air fair – the meeting point for those who want to sell used items and those who like to buy at a good price.

The good weather, however, was short-lived sunshine. At the beginning of the week, the sky over the Grand Duchy became cloudy again and the rain returned. But the weather was no impediment for the grand ducal police to launch a new boat that will be used to patrol the Moselle, on Luxembourg’s eastern border with Germany.

In the photo gallery below we show you not only a photo of this vessel, but also of other events that marked the week in Luxembourg. See, for example, the evolution of the demolition of the old headquarters of the Publications Office of the European Union (Publications Service of the European Union) and the building where the first ecological nursery in the country will be built.
