The Good Life The giant's journey

1 minute

Bettembourg’s “Parc Merveilleux” (fairytale park) is a tourist magnet which is well-known in Luxembourg and beyond the country’s borders. Its landmark is the giant, lying next to a playground for children to climb onto. But one day the giant wakes from his slumbers. Are you brave enough to follow him through the park and the town of Bettembourg? 

The giant suddenly snores loudly, shifts in his sleep and Léa and Ben almost fall off his belly in shock. Is he alive after all? The two five-year-olds look towards the source of the noise. It’s just a loudspeaker! And the good old giant in Bettembourg’s Parc Merveilleux is only a model. But what if he really did come to life?...
