Place d'Armes
The plane-tree square known as the 'city's living room', surrounded by café terraces and often hosting open-air concerts in summer.
The square evolved from a parade ground from the era of the French engineer Vauban. Restaurants and open-air cafés surround it, and the Town Hall on its north side was once the seat of government offices. In summer the bandstand hosts free performances almost every evening, and in December the square is one of the main venues for the Christmas market. It is the starting point for strolls through the old town: to the east lie Place Guillaume II and the Grand Ducal Palace, and about five minutes to the south is Place de la Constitution.
