Belair, Sacré-Coeur

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 little ones are drawn to a fascinating play area while adults can recharge their batteries in the meadows on the edges of small lakes or ponds. The park features rotating outdoor photo exhibitions. The “floating” pictures are changed twice a year. Some display the work of Luxembourg’s EMOP artists, others show student creations.
