Brasserie du Cercle

I tried a Luxembourg soup called Bouneschlupp. Well, kind of. I ordered it, but they were out, so I got the soup of the day, which they said was similar. Not bad!
Grrrrr

So apparently, the type of train I booked (TGV) doesn't leave from this station. They told me where to go, and because I don't have a lot of time, I got a taxi. Hopefully I can make my train, becauseMeer informatie
