The beach at Chatelaillon-Plage, France

2008 marks the Eighteenth Anniversary of the successful link between Knebworth and its French twin town, Châtelaillon-Plage, a well known sea-side resort on the West coast. Exchange visits have involved groups for football, golf, tennis, painting, dance and gymnastics and English visitors have taken part in the Châtelaillon summer processions and celebrations

As well as organising visits for members of the twinning association, the local committee puts groups in touch with their French counterparts and helps them to arrange exchange visits, usually staying with a French family in their home and then returning the hospitality when they visit Knebworth.

Grants are sometimes available from the European Union to fund groups of young people. Visits usually include excursions to places of interest, special events, receptions, meals, parties and, depending on the group's interests, sports fixtures and so on.

We have set up links for young children and secondary schools. Social events and fund raising activities are arranged locally.
