A Frenchman in Maastricht
Somebody recently asked Egbert if he was feeling homesick for France. His answer was a simple no. He grew up as a true epicure appreciating the good life in Alsace, which is why he also feels at home in Maastricht with its touch of French flair.
Maastricht would gladly welcome you with open arms. However, due to the coronavirus measures in place we cannot do so at the moment. Unfortunately, it won't be possible for you to visit for a day of shopping or to enjoy a meal in your favourite restaurant. Thanks to the ‘Visit Maastricht... safely’ (‘Veilig rondje stad’) campaign, Maastricht's entrepreneurs have made it possible to collect shopping from your favourite shop. We would also gladly inspire you to discover Maastricht in a number of different ways. You may experience a side of Maastricht that you never saw before. For example, consider a nice walk around the city, where you have plenty of space for you and others. Take your time and enjoy a different side of Maastricht.

Vintage shopping in Maastricht
Vintage shopping in Maastricht
Vintage clothes shopping has never been as popular as it is now. Alongside the fact that ‘fashion cycling’ is good for the environment, vintage clothes are often much more unique than the items you’ll find in high-street stores.
