The city flea market is back for the summer months!

It’s a little dark recommending this movie (heck, even writing and filming it in the first place?) In An Zero, Comment Le Luxembourg A Disparu, the Cattenom nuclear reactor just across the border in France overheats and explodes...what follows is the Grand Duchy close to being wiped out. Opinions about this film are very mixed...let us know what you think.
Is there an event you think we’d enjoy and like to share with our audience? Feel free to let us know through audience@rtltoday.lu and we may consider it for next week’s agenda.
