Lionel is in the Duchy of Luxembourg in Remich, a lovely town on the banks of the Moselle River. It has a lot to offer: boat rides, walking trails, and pleasant green surroundings.

Lionel is in the city of Schengen in Luxembourg. He talks about the Schengen Area, a group of countries between which European citizens can pass freely, without border checks.

Lionel takes us to the tiny country of Luxembourg. Wedged between France, Belgium, and Germany, Luxembourg boasts one of the highest gross national products per capita and is one of the richest nations in the world.

Lionel is in the town of Grand, a Gallo-Roman city whose origin is puzzling, as there was no main source of water in the area.

Lionel visits an animal park and teaches us the names of the male, female, and young of each animal he encounters. Did you know there's a word for "female duck" in French?

Lionel shows us some of the fowl at the animal park, including the storks, which are the symbol of Alsace.

You will discover in this video the great history of Bitche, a medieval city in the east of France. Its citadel, an important line of defense in the Thirty Years' War, was rebuilt on the ruins of a castle dating back to the twelfth century.

We continue our tour of the citadel of Bitche deep in its underground passages, which contain a large well that dates from the Middle Ages.

Cyril walks us through the underground passages where livestock was kept and troops were housed during the 1870-71 siege of Bitche.

Lionel takes us to a bakery, not the modern kind, but one located beneath the citadel of Bitche. The four giant ovens could each bake five hundred rations a day to feed up to two thousand soldiers!

Cyril and Lionel end our visit to the citadel by showing us where the officers of the garrison slept. And why not take them up on their invitation to visit the citadel in person during your future travels?

Lionel and Jacqueline take us to the Moselle region in the little town of Schorbach, which is renowned for its pink sandstone sculptures and its Path of the Ten Covenants.

In part two of this series, we continue our visit of the little village of Schorbach and join Jacqueline and Lionel at the Calendar of Peace Museum, which depicts famous figures throughout history, from Buddha to Louis Braille.

The Calendar of Peace includes three figures depicted with their eyes closed, signifying their "inward-looking" lives: Jesus, Buddha, and Louis Braille.

Jacqueline shows Lionel some magnificent wooden statues by a Polish sculptor who settled in France.
