The Esch2022 - European Capital of Culture team have published a new travel guide, with the support of Luxembourg's Ministry of Tourism, as part of the efforts to promote the Minett region for Esch2022.
The travel guide, entitled "Zoom Minett - A guide to exploring the south of Luxembourg & neighbouring France", is available in three languages.
This 168-page guide is designed to take readers on a voyage of discovery through a region shaped by change and creativity. It includes around 60 destinations, covering everything from classic crowd-pleasers like Bettembourg Fairy Tale Park to rough-and-ready relics of the industrial heyday. It also features quirky accommodation recommendations and tips for sustainable travel.
“The text and images in this travel guide zoom in to show you something up close and personal, before zooming all the way out again to offer a broader look at people and places along with the fascinating stories behind them”, explained Thierry Kruchten, Head of Tourism, Mobility & Sustainable Development at Esch2022.
The stories are accompanied by scenes captured by local photographer Emile Hengen.
“The Zoom Minett travel guide puts the spotlight on the south of Luxembourg and neighbouring France, opening up fresh perspectives for tourists and locals on either side of the border. What a great opportunity to learn more about the Minett region, which certainly comes across as an exciting destination with plenty to offer”, said Lex Delles, Luxembourg's Minister for Tourism.
Readers can scan the QR codes in the guide to find out more about a particular place or attraction online. As well as a general map of the region, the guide provides a full picture of the Minett Trail for keen hikers and the Minett Cycle Tour for adventurous tourists alongside those fold-out pages packed with photos of industry, nature, urban art and food and drink. Éditions Guy Binsfeld are responsible for the content and design concept, the copy and the layout.
"Zoom Minett - A guide to exploring the south of Luxembourg & neighbouring France" is available to buy, in English, French and German, for €16.50 in Luxembourg and the wider area as well as online: https://ernster.com.
