Introducing Clervaux
Far, far to the north of Luxembourg, hidden deep in the valley of the Clerve River, is a little town that plays second fiddle in most things tourism. Its castle isn’t as grand or crumbly as others in the region. No artists of renown have graced its streets. And it doesn’t boast a flashy chairlift or hop-on hop-off bus. But Clervaux does have two aces – a permanent photographic exhibition that draws visitors from all over the country and further afield, and some of the best chanting monks this side of the Rhine. If either of these are your thing, make this cosy town first string.
