The concept of the Ambassade du Pays de Rode à Limbourg
Who is the Ambassade du Pays de Rode à Limbourg?
The Ambassade supports the interests of the Dutch organization Stichting Herzoglimburg-Pad (HLP) in the Pays de Rode, especially in the Belgian regions of the historic Duchy of Limbourg and the modern municipality of Limbourg in cultural events and activities.
