HERE WE LET YOU INTO THE SECRET  OF THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TWINNING

The purpose of twinning is to bring together people of different cultures, so that they can experience and understand each others lives and so become more tolerant of each other's points of view.

Bideford is twinned with Landivisiau in Brittany, and also Manteo in America. Our association is only involved with Landivisiau. Click Manteo to know more

Every year we travel about 190 miles to our twin town, via Brittany Ferries and the port of Roscoff, for a long weekend. There will be a mix of receptions, restaurant meals, visits to places of interest, and shopping. All with our host family, who look after us, and make sure we have plenty of food and wine. And we only pay for the transport!

Children of all ages are very welcome, and they always seem to enjoy the experience. They seem to communicate with other children, with no language barrier!

In return, our French friends visit us, and we provide the hospitality. To fund this, we have a range of social events, and also receive funding support from a range of organisations.
