Why take up twinning?
Imagine making firm and lasting contacts with a family in France; visiting places and widening your outlook, not as an outsider but as a genuine visitor with your very own personal guide. Sampling new foods and new wines, and experiencing a culture different from your own are just part of the twinning ethos.Think of yourself welcoming people into your own home and introducing them to the delights of Cornwall. You will soon realise that any cultural differences that may exist are minimal.
Imagine being invited for Christmas or to a christening in France - or indeed a wedding. Picture yourself sitting in your car at traffic lights in St Thuriau and waving and smiling to someone you know as they cross the street in front of you, just as if you were at home.
Twinning is about meeting people. It’s about introducing your family and your children into a world where people are tolerant of what is different, where people are creative about the differences.
