Weekly Roundup: Palais Tours, a Swedish Visit, and a Speech

July 6 to July 19, 2019

This week's Roundup will actually cover the previous two weeks, as last week, ahem, completely slipped our minds. It turned out, though, that not much is going on during the summer holidays.

Last week marked the annual event during which school children have the opportunity to visit Palais grand-ducal. Organized by the Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO), the Palais welcomed 555 students from 23 schools across Luxembourg. Starting July 13th and running through September 5th, the Palais grand-ducal will be opened to the general public for guided tours.

On July 12th, Prince Félix joined Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden for a tour of a water treatment plant on the Swedish island Öland. The plant was developed using technology from the Luxembourg-based company Clean-Tech APATEQ.

Also on the 12th, Grand Duke Henri delivered a speech at the opening event for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which was held in Luxembourg from the 12th to the 13th.
