Which European country borders Belgium, France, and Germany?

The story behind the answer

The European country bordering Belgium, France, and Germany is Luxembourg.

Luxembourg is a small, landlocked country in northwestern Europe. Belgium borders it to the north and west, France to the south, and Germany to the east. Its position places it at a historic crossroads between the Romance- and Germanic-speaking parts of Europe.

The country is officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a constitutional monarchy. Luxembourg City, the capital, developed around a medieval fortress and remains an important European political center. The city hosts institutions of the European Union, including the Court of Justice of the European Union.

A frequent mistake is choosing Liechtenstein, another small European state. Liechtenstein borders Austria and Switzerland, not the three countries named in the question. Luxembourg is also one of the Benelux countries, alongside Belgium and the Netherlands, although it does not border the Netherlands.
