The program also included a visit of the LiteraTour, one of the most important literary festivals in Luxembourg organized by the Commune of Bettembourg. Finally, the visit of the National Literature Center – CNL was an opportunity to discover the exhibition Imaginer Servais, as well as to meet and exchange with the nominees of the Prix Servais 2022.

Dedicated meetings for Luxembourg publishers and writers allowed for lively discussions and critical exchanges with the German delegation. Alongside the diverse program, the Luxembourg gastronomy was equally well received.

The German delegation as well as the Luxembourg authors and publishers are very enthusiastic about the valuable and fruitful exchange of these meetings.
