Province of Luxembourg
Luxembourg is the southernmost province of Wallonia and of Belgium. It borders on (clockwise from the East) the nation of Luxembourg, France and the Belgian provinces of Namur and Liège. Its capital is Arlon.
It has a surface area of 4443 km²,a population of 246,000 inhabitants, and is divided into five administrative districts (arrondissements in French) which contain 44 municipalities.
The province also covers two geographical regions of Wallonia : the Ardennes in the north part and the Gaume in the south part.
Historically, the province was comprised almost entirely into the County, then Duchy of Luxembourg, with parts in the north and west belonging to the Prince-Bishopric of Liège or the Principality of Sedan. The eastern town of Vielsalm, named after the River Salm, was the original seat of the County of Salm (later a principality), which stretched from the Belgian Ardennes to the Vosges Mountains in Lorraine and Alsace.
