Belair, Archiducs

The Villa Vauban is located in the heart of the city, surrounded by historic parkland that is the perfect place for relaxation. The stately urban villa was built in 1873 on foundations that date back to the time when Luxembourg was a fortified town. A modern extension has been added and the building was completely refurbished in the early 2000s. The museum presents changing exhibitions based on its own collections (European art from the 17th to the 19th century and Luxembourgish art from the 20th and 21st centuries).

It was the chance meeting of two lovers of the trade, Dominique Colaianni and Olivier Fellmann, that sowed the first seeds of what would become, in 1987, “Les Espaces Saveurs,” a group of five establishments located in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, bringing together more than 80 employees specializing in all aspects of the food industry.

The Municipal Park, an English park laid out by landscape engineer Edouard André on the old fortified grounds at the front of the plain, is a real island of green in the heart of the city. Green spaces such as the Kinnékswiss in the city centre are the ideal place to recharge your batteries.
