Grandchamp-des-Fontaines has been twinned with
the village of Ashton Keynes since May 30, 1992. Ashton Keynes
is located in the south west of England in Wiltshire.
Grandchamp-des-Fontaines and
Ashton Keynes decided to create a twinning for a few
reasons:
-Encouraging an understanding
and a respect between the inhabitants of both villages
-Enabling organisations of
adults and the young to communicate and organize
exchanges
-Developing cultural and social
relations.
A few exchanges have already
taken place in several fields: geographical discovery, language
learning, sports, music, holidays, teenager camps…
