Something different?

The French Connection aims to develop an understanding of and a relationship with the nation with whom we have been allies in two world wars, enemies - many times, visit often for holidays or longer stays and possibly envy for their life style!

The French Connection of the Wear Valley is twinned with the Plateau Vert to the west of Rouen and exchanges are arranged in alternate years between the Wear Valley and the Plateau Vert and vice versa.

Work experience has been arranged between the two communities and we are keen to develop this further.

Meetings are held roughly monthly - see programme - and anyone is welcome to attend.
