Caen
Twinning
In 2004 Portsmouth U3A
invited a party from the French UIA (the equivalent of the
U3A) to visit Portsmouth with the idea visits could be
arranged on a regular basis.
A French party was happy
to accept our invitation and arrived for a three day visit,
during which they visited places of interest around
Portsmouth.
This was so successful
and many friendships were forged with the result that the
exchange visits have a regular event in our calendar.
When a Portsmouth group
visited Caen in 2005 a formal "Twinning" Charter was signed.
It was also agreed to join in a joint research project to
trace the historic links between our two cities. This is
ongoing.
The next
twinning will be from the 11th to 14th April 2011.
With our French Guests we will be visiting the Victory, Chichester Cathedral and either guided tour of Chichester or a visit to then Pallant Gallery.
