Would you and your family like to be part of an intercultural and educational experience with France? Roscommon- Chartrettes Twinning, now in its 28th Year, is extending an open invitation to parents/families from the Roscommon region to visit Chartrettes from June 26th-29th. It is a real opportunity to learn or improve French language skills by staying with a French family and experiencing firsthand the cultural life of a French community. The main cost of this adventure is flights as families making the trip are hosted by French families. Music, song and dance are also very much part of the experience as well as a day trip to Paris. If you feel you would like more information about this intercultural experience please contact as soon as possible secretary Marie Mitchell at rostwinning@gmail.com or 0863859274 or our chairperson Noel Connolly 0876388590.
