Our twin towns

Just as the saying goes, ‘birds of a feather flock together’, local authorities generally form alliances based on their similarities and their distinctive characteristics…

This partnership helps to support various areas: culture, heritage, tourism, education… Bonds are forged and meetings become more frequent, enabling us to exchange and share the values that are close to our hearts! Residents forge friendly and, above all, lasting relationships that are passed down from generation to generation!

Twin towns regularly organise cultural events, art exhibitions and artist exchange programmes to celebrate and share their cultural heritage, as well as themed trips and fairs showcasing local produce… A wide range of events designed to build a harmonious world together!

Twinning schemes on a human scale where the value of sharing is self-evident!
