To counter this tendency, the large hall of the Schluechthaus will be transformed into a true flea market: on one hand, there will be a second hand clothes sale, and on the other, a second hand book market will be set up by voluntary associations, which active in this area. As part of its commitment to promote the circular economy, the City of Luxembourg is inviting all interested individuals who would like to offer their items for sale to join the fun.
