Dent Creuse is the small village at the heart of Pfaffenthal, tucked into the Alzette gorge below the Bock promontory and the Corniche, Europe's so-called most beautiful balcony. Most visitors to Luxembourg City never come down here at all, which is exactly its appeal: the place is defined by the panoramic lift, the Fondation Pescatore and the Pulvermühle viaduct overhead, and by the terraced houses along Rue de la Tour Jacob and Rue de Trèves, built for 19th-century ironworkers and bargemen. People visit for a quieter, closer read on the city: ride the lift up to Ville Haute, look back at the viaduct, or simply walk the narrow lanes beside the river. After 8pm it turns residential and still, streetlights are sparse, and the loudest thing you will hear is a train crossing the viaduct. There is a single decent restaurant plus a bakery on Rue Laurent Menager, and Grund, one gorge over, has the restaurants Pfaffenthal lacks.
