What to buy here: Vieux Luxembourg ceramics.

Commissioned for Louis XV, the King of France, in 1745, Vieux Luxembourg (literally ‘Old Luxembourg’) was Villeroy & Boch’s first pattern. One of the world’s leading porcelain-makers, Villeroy & Boch was founded in France by Francois Boch and his three sons. They soon moved the company to Luxembourg, establishing the Grand Duchy’s reputation for quality ceramics. After over 200 years in operation, the Luxembourg porcelain factory was closed in 2010, but Villeroy & Boch remains the tableware brand of choice for Luxembourgers. Enjoy Luxembourg tradition with a Vieux Luxembourg piece, starting from around €8 for smaller items., Choose from the large collection ranging from teacups and saucers to casserole dishes and jam serving sets, all featuring the classic pattern of pretty blue flowers on a clean white background.

Luxembourg Introduction Walking Tour

The capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is known as Luxembourg City. The Romans had built small forts here that guarded two roads that passed through. But it was Count Seigfried in 963 who began the town by building a castle on the Bock promontory. A small church followed on the site of present day St. Michael’s Church. Soon a community sprang up along the Roman road.
