LIRC in the TV Show "Echappées Belles" on French television
Published Thu 26 Jun 2025
We were honored to meet a France Television crew for the filming of the popular show "Echappées belles," which focused on the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
That Wednesday, we were able to bring together about fifteen members for an outing unlike any other.
The diversity of nationalities among our members was one of the key criteria. After some drone footage, we headed towards Schengen to cover the 4.5 km, while being interviewed on the river from a motorboat belonging to the Schwebsange Yacht Club, about the river, the region, and its history.
Unfortunately for us, the famous buoy that symbolizes the center of the three borders in Schengen had been removed due to construction on the landing stage. This prevented the director from showing this section in the show.
We thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience which allowed us to introduce rowing and the existence of our club to many people!
A big thank you to France Television for giving us this opportunity!
Here is the link to this TV show - Enjoy! (we are on after 10 minutes)
