Luxembourg

Why would anyone want to go to Luxembourg ? 

That is exactly why I wanted to go, figuring that I might as well go to random countries that one wouldn’t normally think of visiting. It is an easy 2 hour train ride from Paris into the center of Luxembourg and we were able to see the city in the same day. The city was founded in 963 and in known for banking, finance, and houses several EU buildings. Driving around the town, the architecture of the buildings is noteworthy, from the Philharmonic building, to the building near the financial center. Each one has a unique design. Schumann, the father of the EU hails from Luxembourg. There is also an old part of the city which includes the Casemates, an underground military system, which was used as shelter during 2 world wars and was used many different countries over the years.  After walking around the main town square, we head back to Paris, fascinated by the fact that I could take a field trip within the day to a different country.
