As Luxembourg has just taken on the presidency of the Council of the European Union, why not hold a European picnic? That’s exactly what happened across the City on Friday.
Food, drink and a jovial atmosphere was enjoyed by many for a European picnic held on the Place d’Armes, on the rue des Capucins, on the Place du Théâtre and of course in front of the House of Europe on rue de Curé.
The Luxembourg presidency will cover many aspects of European life but will aim to focus on the real and direct benefits of all citizens in the EU in the areas of policy.
With this in mind, a "Europe for Citizens" project was created, together with the City of Luxembourg, to organise an event for the general public and celebrate the start of the Presidency. The European picnic was the tasty result.
