Send Flowers to Differdange, Luxembourg

Differdange, in the south-west corner of Luxembourg near the French border, is the third most populous town in the country and still an active steel town: heavy beams rolled here have gone into skyscrapers around the world. Like its neighbours in the Minett, it grew quickly in the industrial age and welcomed workers from Italy, then Portugal and many other countries. Today the town is younger and more varied than visitors expect.

The municipality is made up of several localities, each with its own feel. Differdange proper has the town centre, the market square and the old town hall, now a cultural venue. Oberkorn and Niederkorn stretch along the valley of the Chiers, Fousbann is a residential quarter on the hillside, and tiny Lasauvage hides in a wooded valley right on the border, a former mining village with a few streets of workers' houses. When ordering, name the locality as well as the street, because the postcode alone may not be enough for a visitor to find the door.

Anyone who wants to send flowers to Differdange can order until midnight local time for delivery the next day, Monday to Saturday. There are no deliveries on Sundays or public holidays. A card in Portuguese, French or Italian will often be the most personal choice.
