BURNHAM AND HIGHBRIDGE TOWN TWINNING

The French Town Twinning
The Twinning began in 1977, with the town of Cassis on the south coast of France, near to Marseille - a beautiful coastal resort. The formal Twinning document was signed in 1978. The tenth anniversary was celebrated in 1988, but eventually the Twinning was dissolved because of dwindling numbers, but we have retained a Friendship Link.

In 1997, our Chairman, Mike Mansfield, was passing through a small town in Brittany - Louvigne du Desert, and instigated our present Twinning, which is so successful

The formal Twinning documents were signed in Monthault (one of the communes), in October 1998, followed by a similar ceremony in Burnham the following year.
