What Is Luxembourg Famous For?

This country is famous for its cheese. The cheese is well known for its pungent smell.
Hey I am from Luxemburg and I just want to say to cspook7 that we just make one kind of cheese called "Kachkeis" you make the mistake with our neighborhoods the Belgians they make very stinky cheese!! And a little information for Blurto our language is Luxemburgish and not French. We learn it in neighborhoods because we have to not because we want to!!! Luxemburgish is an official language since 10 years and not a dialect anymore. And to allways16 I want to say that we have to win a lot of money because living in Luxemburg is very expensive. Just to give an example: Houses and apartment are triple of prices than in Germany or France. So earning a lot of money means not that we are rich, don't believe it. In these times the population is about 490.000 people and about 25000 of them have no job, because all the jobs are taken by french people crossing all day the border! The problem is that we speak 4-5 languages and french people just one or maximum 2! Naturally its much more cheaper to engage an "français". Not everything what's blinking is gold!

"The economy of Luxembourg is largely dependent on the banking, steel, and industrial sectors. Luxembourgers enjoy the second highest per capita gross domestic product in the world (CIA 2007 est.), behind Qatar. Luxembourg is seen as a diversified industrialized nation, contrasting the oil boom in Qatar, the major monetary source of that nation.
Although Luxembourg in tourist literature is aptly called the "Green Heart of Europe", its pastoral land coexists with a highly industrialized and export-intensive economy. Luxembourg enjoys a degree of economic prosperity almost unique among industrialized democracies."
