Bavarian orchestra, German beer, white sausages with a sweet mustard, Bretzel sauce… Saturday January 25 on the town hall square, members of the Compiègne-Lanshut twinning committee celebrated friendship Franco-Germanstarted in 1962 with this city in southeast Bavaria.
Several exchanges are planned this year. The first is a sporting nature, with the arrival of the rowing club of this city of 75,000 souls, where the rowers of the Compiègne Nautical Society will leave in August. The Clep choir is also planned. Their German counterparts will come on November 2 to sing at the imperial theater.
“Our twinning lives well,” says Michèle Bilbault, president (top right). Twelve people constitute the office, and 120 families regularly participate in the actions of the twinning committee, which offers German lessons, the five levels of which are frequented by 32 students.
