The Ambassade du Pays de Rode is particularly looking forward to welcoming guests to the Limbourg Memorial Day this year. After a long period in which we were not allowed to celebrate any municipal events, we now have free rein again. For the opening of the newly restored Place St. Georges in the Nuit Romantique on 18.06.22, we welcomed 2000 visitors to Limbourg again for the first time. This shows how much joy and interest is now blossoming in Limbourg. Above all, we are expecting guests from the Netherlands and Germany. Why? Because we consider cross-border friendship to be particularly important, both on a small and large scale. This is the message of the Ambassade: Partagé! Let's share the joy of culture and nature in our region across borders!
