Bourgmeisterin Episode #26: Baron de Gargan

ARA City Radio

Ah, the tale of Théodore-Charles-Joseph, baron de Gargan, one of the owners of the Villa Vauban back in the day, a gentleman of exquisite vintage hailing from the quaint town of Inglange, Moselle, where life was a potpourri of fine wine and cheese. Born on August 9, 1791, his earthly journey concluded with a final flourish on November 6, 1853. Why is his persona important for Luxembourg? Well, apart from the villa ownership fact, he was one of the first mining heralds – the sphere where Luxembourg made a bank on after his time. So you could say he was ahead of the curve, and figured way too early what would build a legacy (or a fat bank account, but those are technicalities😅). Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!
