The Symbolism of the Chain of Union

The 4th International Europe Lodges Symposium


Longwy Coat of Arms
The 4th International Symposium of “Europe” Lodges was held in Longwy, France, during 6-8 May 2010. France is in itself a great Masonic land, and Longwy is very special, both by history and by craft. The French Brothers from “La Chaine D’Union Européene” took much care and showed much love in organizing the meeting, bringing together the historical tradition and our current European values. All these were nursed with the well-known good taste and the sense of fine arts, so characteristic to French soul.
A Temple was prepared into the Arsenal building, one of the most important monuments of the town.

Longwy Fortifications
The guests arrived on Friday, the 6th of May, and were accommodated into the Threeland hotel. As Longwy is near the borders of Belgium and Luxembourg, and the hotel is in Luxembourg, a tour of Luxembourg was organized quickly after the arrival of the guests. Then, everybody was officially welcomed at the city hall of Longwy, by the mayor. A welcome dinner was prepared in the evening, at the Threeland hotel.
Many Brothers came with their wives, so a “Ladies’ day” was organized on Saturday.
Here is the list of attendant Lodges:
