Nice series, well done! Luxembourg is a lovely, albeit small, patch of land nestled between France, Belgium and Germany. Many people aren't even aware of it, and pass it by.

True story: I was attending college in Europe in the 1970s, and took a summer road trip through western Europe. At every border, I got my passport stamped. By the time I was done, I had a book full of stamps, often many per page.

The stamp from Luxembourg was displayed on a clean, two pages. One big stamp for the smallest country (principality, really)!

In reality the border posts still exist on major roads they are just not manned. The other problem you can come up against is you cannot tell which language to speak, there are four to choose from, French, German, Flemish (Dutch) and Letzeburgesch, you can use any of them though but no matter which one you use the reply will be another one!

Very nice glimpses of Luxembourg; the speed limits sign is quite interesting.
