Remich, a Picturesque Representation of Life in Luxembourg

Moving to Remich and taking advantage of an optimal geographical location

Geographically speaking, the whole of Luxembourg is ideally situated for its inhabitants. This is especially true for Remich.

No less than two countries can be reached within a radius of no more than 40 kilometres. These are, of course, France and Germany.

Remich is the smallest municipality in Luxembourg in terms of area. This means that if you are for a plot of land to build on, you will have to be very careful. Local architects know how to create homes that fit in perfectly with the surroundings while respecting the constraints of an area of just 5.29 km².

Living in Remich, the Grand Duchy's wine region 

The Celts, the Gauls and then the Romans were the first to cultivate vines in the southern region of Luxembourg.

The Luxembourg wine sector went through a complicated period in the 18th century, but later recovered with the foundation of the Institut vitivinicole in 1922, and then in the 1980s with the Moselle Luxembourgeoise - Appellation contrôlée, a label that helped restore Remich, also known as the “pearl of the Moselle”, to its former glory, notably for the beauty and diversity of its landscape.

On the 1,235 hectares of the municipality, various grape varieties such as those used for sparkling wine and crémant de Luxembourg are grown. Among the best-known of these are pinot blanc, pinot noir and chardonnay, which are very popular in France.

Reasons to live in Remich and discover this municipality 

1. The environment

Cultivating a pleasant lifestyle and being able to take full advantage of the soil's viticulture potential undeniably requires a global awareness of the environmental efforts to be made.

The Alliance pour le climat Luxembourg has 37 member municipalities, including Remich. The aim is to communicate in order to achieve common objectives, but also specific objectives for each locality, depending on the problems encountered on the field.

Thus, the city of Remich is committed to implementing ecological initiative projects and concrete actions for the climate in order to make the life of its inhabitants more pleasant.

Since 2016, the region has been home to one of Luxembourg's five biological wastewater treatment plants.

2. Mobility in the city

“Being mobile without restrictions and without worries about parking or fines” is the promise made by the Remich City Council. In order to achieve this goal of facilitating the mobility of the population, several measures have been put in place:

• The Nightlifebus: a completely free service aimed primarily at young people;
• A free shuttle bus service to the capital;
• Chargy: charging points for electric vehicles.

The city relies on smart and green initiatives to prepare the population for the transition to less polluting means of transport.

3. A real green lung

If the canton is known for the quality of its vineyards, the region also has many parks and forests to enjoy a walk away from the world or a moment of relaxation with family or friends.

The “Brill” park is a public place with a pond and everything you need to spend a relaxing afternoon in a cool, green setting.

The large forest on the outskirts of the community, which is located between Remich and Stadtbredimus, is equipped with hiking trails, as well as marked routes for mountain bikers.

4. A wide range of leisure activities

Remich is a place for sportsmen and women who are looking for a suitable infrastructure to practice one or more physical activities. The town offers an unparalleled setting with no less than 5 indoor swimming pools, including an Olympic-sized one for training like a pro.

Sport and nature are synonymous with cycling. Here again, the Luxembourg municipality is not to be outdone, with the establishment of cycle paths for recreational cycling along the banks of the Moselle.

Not forgetting the various activities offered directly in the thermal centre, with the aim of diversifying the stay of its clients.
