We shall return to Luxembourg for the next issue of hidden europe, featuring aspects of the landscape and culture of the Grand Duchy. Also in that upcoming issue we shall explore the Tatar heritage of the Baltic region and reflect, during a train journey across Switzerland, about how mountains can lift the spirits. We’ll also feature the traditional boat builders of Saint-Omer in northern France.

hidden europe 61 is published on 11 July — which happens to be the Feast of St Benedict, one of Europe’s patron saints.

That’s our e-newsletter, which is published a couple of times each month, and delivered directly to your inbox. You can register to receive Letter from Europe by going to our website.
