Town Twinning
Beauvais Twinning Association
Maidstone is twinned with Beauvais, in France.
Beauvais is one of the oldest towns in France.
Today, Beauvais is a town of culture with many museums, sporting
events, festive and popular urban happenings. Some of the
historical sites of Beauvais are absolute "musts" such as the
impressive Cathedral and the Church of Saint-Etienne.
The Twinning Association Committee meets
monthly and has an annual meeting and a half-yearly
meeting.
Trips are organised to Beauvais each year to
the Jeanne Hachette Festival and a sporting weekend is held each
year in the autumn, with the hosting of the event taken in turn,
one year in Beauvais, the next in Maidstone.
The Committee organises a number of events
each year to enable members to get together and members keep in
touch with a newsletter which is circulated every three to four
months.
