After a capricious month of July, the sun is finally showing its face ☀️ ! With temperatures soaring, there's nothing better than a cool break with a bowl of ice cream! Whether you're looking for fruity, fresh or unusual flavors, we've got the best ice cream spots for you! We can already see you drooling just from talking about ice cream... 🤤
___BREAK THE ICE!
To begin with, we'd like to introduce you to Fabrique Givrée, located in the ZAC d'Augny, the home of a completely mad chef 🧑🏻🍳 who draws his inspiration from the Ardèche. Frozen cocktails, gourmet ice creams (especially the one with Ardèche chestnut cream), XXL pots, hilarious sorbets... There's enough to blow your guts out with the many nuggets from the creators!
We highly recommend the "chat perché" cup 😻 with its roasted pistachio, roasted peanut, fresh thyme, apricot and cat's tongue ice cream! A real treat! For something a little more refreshing, the basil raspberry iced cocktail is to die for 🌿!

___UN GELATO PER FAVORE
A real work of art, you'll almost (we say almooost) be sick to your stomach to eat it! As beautiful to look at as they are to eat, Amorino's famous rose-shaped ice creams are one of a kind 🌹 ! As well as having flavors each more delicious than the next, your frozen treat will be served to you in the form of flower petals, with the cone as a crunchy stem.
You can visit the ice cream parlour at Auchan Cloche d'Or 🇱🇺. If you're on the other side of the border, you can sample the ice creams in downtown Thionville 🇫🇷.
A word of advice: don't take too long to post them to your Instagram story, the roses wilt even faster than the real thing! Don't say you've got ice cream all over your hands afterward!

___IT'S NICE
To be pronounced "naïsse" in English, not like the city in the South of France...
Head to Luxembourg-Ville to taste home-made ice creams inspired by the sunny south, exclusive flavors (we tested the nutmeg flavor) and completely frosted, sorbets with fresh fruit 🍒, there's something for everyone in the office with the many variations of ice creams. They even offer you "icepastries": you take a normal pastry, mix it with ice cream and poof, you get this marvelous thing 🍰. How original is that?
The little extra? The treats are vegan-friendly, lactose-free and gluten-free! No excuse not to go!

___MELT WITH PLEASURE
Attention chocolate and ice cream lovers, we've managed to find a genius who's combined the two! Head for Bastogne to the ice-cream and chocolate shop "À la Boule" 🍨.
You absolutely must try their speciality, the "esquiboules", a real delight straight from the ice floe: you choose an ice cream with the flavor of your choice in farm milk and you add a crunchy chocolate topping 🍫 (white, milk, or dark) on top! The true recipe for happiness! For special occasions, toppings can be added.
You can even stop by (or have a few chocolate pieces delivered). Pssst, there are even chocolate champagne bottles, have you ever seen that?

___THE ICE CREAM MAN
Who remembers the ice cream man who used to pass by with his travelling ice cream parlour, making the rounds of the villages to distribute ice creams to all the gourmands? And let's not forget the famous truck music, recognizable among a thousand, announcing his arrival.... What a pleasure 🤩
Well, just think, this was Marcel Goeres' childhood dream, and he was able to make it come true by transforming his famous Italian Vespa into an ice cream parlour on wheels that roams the various towns of Luxembourg in search of delighting young and old alike with frosty delights, flavoured with fresh fruit, blended with 100% luxembourgish milk.
His ice creams are filled with love, created by pastry chefs trained in the land of gelato at Carpigiani University in Italy 🇮🇹
