France–Luxembourg relations are the bilateral relations between the French Republic and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. France and Luxembourg share a land border. Both nations are members of the Council of Europe, European Union, NATO, OECD and the United Nations.

History

In 1659, Luxembourg lost a portion of its territory to the Kingdom of France in the First Partition of Luxembourg. In 1795, Luxembourg was occupied by France during the French Revolutionary Wars, and eventually restored as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in 1815. Luxembourg and France were both invaded and occupied by Germany during World War I and II. Luxembourgers, alike French, were among the prisoners of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp and its subcamps operated in German-occupied France.^[1]
