CeCiL - Cercle Cite' Les salons de la ville

The sunshine and blooms that spring brings makes me itching to go out and visit places (much to the dismay of my boys who would rather stay at home and play Wii or just chill out). Last Saturday, there were three events in the city: The British Ladies' Car Boot Sale, the Reopening of the Cercle Municipal, and the Annual Duck Race. I wanted to go to all of them! Reality check: that was not possible with two children in tow.

I was successful in convincing my boys to go see the newly renovated Cercle Municipal. When we arrived in Luxembourg a year ago, it was under renovation (apparently, it has been so for five years already)that's why I was curious to see it. and here are snippets of what we saw and did there:

The colorful mural that featured artworks from children visitors greeted everyone

  
The Grande Salle - four musicians were playing the saxophone. They are the Saxitude.

They caught Polo's attention


Now, we're watching an interpretative dance number from students from the Dance Atmosphere school.
Nicolo is performing his own version.

Every thirty minutes or so, a muse in red holding a red umbrella slowly turned to the tune of a musical box.


At the end, we got a chance to dress up for a free souvenir photo in the Salle de reunion...

... Polo had barbapapa (that's french for cotton candy)
... and Nicolo brought home a balloon. :)
