Informations
In Luxembourg everybody will find the appropriate
accomodation from the five star Royal Hotel in Luxembourg or the Parc Hotel at Mondorf to
the B&B in every village and in between all the Holiday Inn, Novotel or Campanile
chain hotels.
We have chosen two special places for golfers.
 Parc
Hotel at Mondorf.
The city of Mondorf is located in a triangle between Luxembourg, Germany and France
borders. It is a sort of dream town for fairy tales with greenness, flowers, birds, mild
climate and water, spring water. The Domaine thermal offers a complete range of
hydrothermal care, medical, beauty, fitness, sport, training… Only for golfers, there
are three different packages (the golf course of Preisch is at five minutes drive from
there). Note that the two restaurants, De Jangell and Les Sources serve not only diet
meals but also a wonderful traditional cuisine with wines selected by one the most famous
wine waitress of the country.

Les Anciennes Tanneries at Wiltz.
Wiltz, capital of the Luxemburger Ardennes, is by evidence, one of the most beautiful
sites in the Grand Duchy. An old earl castle in an eagle city nest, museum and monuments
of the Ardennes battle, an international music and theatre festival and tan annual
Pentecost broom fair are the main trumps of the city. Last relics of the industrial past
of Wiltz, the Anciennes Tanneries have been transformed in a hostelry of a dozen modern
comfortable room. And under the old tannery's vaults converted in a charming restaurant, a
young chef David Verger serves traditional or original cuisine.
Luxemburger cuisine.
Each invader, and there where many in the country, brought
in his own cuisine habits so that everybody can find in the
Grand Duchy what he wants to eat. But there is also a Luxembourger
cuisine which can be served only at very special places like
the well known Kachhaus at Hellange (at a
few miles from the Preisch golf course) where Lea
Linster (awarded "Bocuse d'or" in 1989
and stared by the Guide Michelin) cooks the traditional "Jud
mat gaardebounen" which is a stew of smoked pork neck
with broad garden beans.
At Luxembourg City, at the Cafe de la Paix where ministers, bankers and
civil servants are neighbours and frequent customers, Marcel Becker (a
great golfer) serves also local cuisine.
Luxembourger wines.
Coming from the vineyards of the Moselle riverbanks, Luxembourger wines play a major role
in the local cuisine. They are all white wines but the most tasteful is the Riesling,
which is used for cooking hen, pâté or sauerkraut. Anyway the Moselle wines deserve to
be tasted to discover their real valour.
