Luxembourg (old city)

A short city break to Luxembourg (old)City.
A smallish and pleasant old town... but a lot of walking from top to bottom and back up.
Our first day was sunny, but the May Bank Holiday, so many shops and cafes were shut.
Also, Grand Duke Jean had recently passed away,so some buildings,
like Notre Dame had restricted or no access, in preparation for his funeral.
By Day 3 , the weather had become cold and windy... but we had seen almost everything by then.
