Freedom of Movement 7 - Luxembourg.

“Let’s meet in Schengen. By the piece of the old Berlin wall. Under the bridge, by the river. You can’t miss it.” Well, where better than Schengen, the place that gives its name to the whole borderless travel area of Europe?
It’s tiny - there’s nothing here except the visitor’s centre and the Place Des Etoiles commemorating the signing of the Schengen agreement.
Linda, from Slovakia, and her husband Jonathan (from France) and their two children were joined by Ruth, a Scot with Luxembourg nationality. They’re in Luxembourg. In the background to the left is Germany, and to the right is France. I don’t suppose the placing of these pieces of the wall - with a gap between them, facing the triple border - is any sort of accident.
