WHAT IS TOWN-TWINNING ALL ABOUT?
Town-twinning is a wonderful way of making friends both here and abroad. The concept of “Town-twinning” was started to help build relationships between countries in Europe, and encourage people to meet, mix and get along. “That’s why town twinning – at its core – is a good and important thing” (extract from The Guardian!)
About KTA
It is now many years since we signed the Charter with Châtelaillon-Plage. The official Charters were signed in 1990 by Lord David Cobbold at Knebworth House and in the Casino at Châtelaillon-Plage.
Since then, many people from both communities have found and developed new friendships, welcomed them into their homes and enjoyed some wonderful memories.
Whatever your age, whatever your interest, we would be delighted to welcome you to Knebworth Twinning Association and invite you to take part in our many and varied social events that are organised every year, both in Knebworth and in beautiful Châtelaillon-Plage!!
Some feedback from our last trip in 2024.....
"This is a truly unique experience that you can't get from a regular holiday to France".
"Having just about recovered from the long weekend, I thought it was time to say a big thank you to everyone who helped co-ordinate our smashing visit".
Whilst all the parties and meet-ups were undoubtedly fun.....it's always the little moments that stay with me. Whether it's my daughter being absolutely delighted to be told her French was "parfait" when she asked for some apricots from the fruit and veg market stall, or watching her play hangman with a new friend from the group (I can't remember his name, but he was a lovely sweet man)....
...and when I wake up to see my son playing un Jeu de Lecture at the kitchen table with our hostess, or when we discuss French politics into the early hours of Monday morning in front of the rolling news coverage..."
