The Ville de Luxembourg (VdL) has made a public announcement that the Parks Service is looking for around 20 fir trees to decorate the capital during the Christmas period.

People with a 10-20 metre tree, which they wish to cut down due to their height, are asked to contact the Parks Department via tel.: 4796 3423 or e-mail: parcdemande@vdl.lu - before mid-October 2017.

The fir tree must have a suitable shape (dense and more or less symmetrical) and must not be surrounded by other trees. The Park Service will take care of the cutting and transport of fir trees free of charge from early November and will then place the fir trees at various places in the capital, such as Place d'Armes, Place de la Gare or Place De France, to ensure a warm atmosphere during the Christmas holidays.
