Raglan is twinned with the village of Parcé-sur-Sarthe The two historic villages of Raglan in , Wales and Parcé-sur-Sarthe, Pays de la Loire, France have agreed to, an initially informal, twinning between their two villages. Both villages have much in common; they are of similar size, have historic backgrounds and are both located in attractive river valleys. Each has an economy based upon agriculture and the two are easily accessible from one another by car, train and air. The populations are roughly equivalent and business profiles are similar with equivalent number of shops, schools and businesses in each village. The objectives of the twinning process are to promote closer links between the two communities based upon social, economic, educational and cultural interests. Raglan Twinning Association is a fully constituted community group whose task is to facilitate the twinning process and support both groups and individuals interested in being involved. The association can provide assistance to sports, community groups and private individuals interested in establishing links with Parcé. A number of activities are underway between the two village more details of which can be found under the activities page. For further information please get in touch at info@raglantwinning.org.uk |
