Fort Thüngen, a historic fortification in Luxembourg City, is sited in Dräi Eechelen Park, in the Kirchberg quarter. It is also colloquially known as Trois Glands (in English, Three Acorns) in reference to the acorns that sit atop of the three towers.
Most of the original fortress was demolished after the 1867 Treaty of London, which demanded the demolition of Luxembourg City's numerous fortifications. The three towers and the foundations of the rest of the fort were all that remained. During the 1990s, the site was reconstructed in its entirety, in parallel with the development of the site for the construction of the Mudam, Luxembourg's museum of modern art. After being fully restored, Fort Thüngen was reopened in 2012 as Musée Dräi Eechelen.
Il Palazzo del Lussemburgo (Palais du Luxembourg in francese) è un palazzo di Parigi.
La sua edificazione fu promossa dalla regina Maria de' Medici, quando suo figlio Luigi XIII divenne maggiorenne e quindi cessò la sua reggenza. Volle un palazzo in una zona allora periferica, un po' come aveva fatto la sua lontana parente Caterina de' Medici con il Palazzo delle Tuileries.
L'aspetto del palazzo, realizzato da Salomon de Brosse dal 1617, ricorda sia Palazzo Pitti di Firenze (per l'uso del bugnato) sia una villa di campagna, circondata dai vasti Giardini del Lussemburgo. L'edificio, importante esempio di architettura barocca francese, ha una pianta a U con un porticato al pian terreno e due ali laterali dove erano alloggiati gli appartamenti privati della famiglia reale.
Dal 1958 è sede del Senato francese.

Jardin du Luxembourg
The Jardin du Luxembourg, or the Luxembourg Garden, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, was created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The garden today is owned by the French Senate, which meets in the Palace. The park, which covers 23 hectares, is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, flowerbeds, the model sailboats on its circular basin, and for the picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 1620.

The city centre occupies a picturesque site on a salient, perched high atop precipitous cliffs that drop into the narrow valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, which find their confluence at Luxembourg City. The 70 m- (230 ft) deep gorges cut by the rivers are spanned by many bridges and viaducts, including the Adolphe Bridge, the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, and the Passerelle. Although Luxembourg City is not particularly large, its layout is complex, as the city is set on several levels, straddling hills and dropping into the two gorges.
The Corniche in Luxembourg , also called the most beautiful balcony in Europe, runs on the ramparts built by the Spanish and French in the 17th century, along the Alzette valley from Bockfelsen to the lower part of the Heiliggeist Citadel .
It gives excellent views of the valley of the Alzette, the Grund district and the Rham Plateau.
Le Pont grande-duchesse Charlotte (luxembourgeois : Groussherzogin-Charlotte-Bréck, allemand : Großherzogin-Charlotte-Brücke) est situé à Luxembourg-Ville, dans le sud du Luxembourg. Il relie l'avenue John-F.-Kennedy (lb), au Kirchberg, au boulevard Robert-Schuman (lb), au Limpertsberg et permet à la route nationale 51 (nl) ainsi qu'au futur tramway de Luxembourg de franchir la vallée de l'Alzette et est de ce fait la principale route reliant le centre-ville, la Ville-Haute, au Kirchberg, le quartier des institutions européennes.
Le pont est également connu sous le nom de Pont Rouge (luxembourgeois : Rout Bréck, allemand : Rote Brücke) en référence à sa peinture rouge distinctive. Il est plus sinistrement connu pour la centaine de suicides recensés entre son ouverture et 1993, année où un garde-corps anti-suicide est installé.
