| Luxembourg is at the centre of European life. In this country of modest dimensions, events of continental scale with global repercussions take place every day.

And perhaps also through reading Claudel, Dostoievsky, Bergson, Péguy and Dante. For the first thing you ask of a founder of Europe is to be thoroughly familiar with European culture. |
