Luxembourg (province of Belgium)
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 and is divided into five administrative districts (arrondissements in French) which contain 44 municipalities. The province also covers two regions (of Wallonia, one of the three actual official regions of Belgium) : the Ardennes on the north part and the Gaume on the south part.
The residents of Luxembourg are mostly Francophone, but there is a large German-speaking minority. The province was detached from the duchy of Luxembourg in 1839.
