Why get involved with Twinning?

There are lots of possible reasons, for example:

Because you approve of the idea of building bridges between different nationalities.
For the opportunities to use/learn the French language in real-life situations, especially living in a French family.
Because you admire French style and/or culture.
To be able to base opinions on the pros and cons of European integration on some real knowledge of what makes at least one other European nation tick.
Because you will get a buzz out of showing off our own country to foreign visitors.
To broaden your horizons and/or those of your children.
To help your children with their school French, Geography and maybe History, too.
The opportunity for holidays in an attractive part of France, with help from local people on what to see and do.
To sample French food and wine that we maybe wouldn’t find as ordinary tourists.
To meet some really nice people.
To make friends you can visit en route to and from holidays in other parts of Europe.
To show the French that not all the British are Europhobes or football hooligans and that we don’t live on fish and chips, custard and warm beer!
Because it’s fun!
