The St Hilaire de Riez municipality erect road signs to advertise the twinning partnership.
The first group visit by CTA members in August 2018 was a great success and many new friendships were made.
In 2016 members of the Asso EFB committee visited Coleford to launch the twinning partnership.
In 2017 the CTA hosted a group of teachers from schools in St Hilaire de Riez. It was hoped that this visit would lead to many schools in the Coleford district establishing twinning partnerships.
In 2019 a large group of CTA members travelled to St Hilaire by coach, where we were hosted by Asso EFB members.
During the 2019 visit, the Coleford group travelled to the island of Noirmoutier where we had a superb picnic by the beach followed by a wlak along the coast.
Members of the friends of the Le Bois Juquaud heritage museum welcomed the visiting group with a tour of the site and a lovely buffet meal.
