Tarporley Twinning Association

Well it may be a bit far to go, but maybe?

Just to be clear it’s in Bohars not Tarporley!

Back in May a group from Tarporley travelled to Bohars.  Here are some photos from the trip.

Amongst other places, we visited the Mediaeval fête at the Château de Kerveatoux near Saint-Renan.  That’s the first 3 pictures. Then we saw the biggest standing stone in Europe “Le menhir de Kerloas “. The next picture shows us at the Capucins in Brest, followed by dinner at the restaurant “La Forge” in the former Capuchin Workshops, and a night-time ride back in the cable car gondola.

The following day we visited the “Musée-mémoires 39/45”, near the Pointe Saint Mathieu. A History of the war in Brittany set in a massive German bunker, with panoramic views over the Bay of Brest, the Crozon peninsula and Ushant. Followed by a visit to the Vaéré garden. This botanic garden was created by one man, and includes miniature buildings and fascinating plant collections.

Quite a variery!

Here’s a picture from our recent quiz night at the Scout Hut in Tarporley.  It was, as usual, a successful and entertaining evening!  The hall was nearly full and we could have squeezed in only a few more people!!

More details later…

Last month we enjoyed welcoming our visitors from Bohars.  Here’s a few pictures from their visit.

Eating does play a big part of course; we share a love of good food.  Here we are at The Cheshire Cat…

Crossing the Pontcyllite aquesduct in a narrowboat…

A visit to Chester…

Our get-together at Huxley Village Halll, including our version of the Olympic games, with medals for the winners…

Our visitors have only recently departed back to Bohars after the latest visit.  This is a picture of some of us outside Chester Cathedral.  We’ll be posting some more pictures of the visit soon, but in the meantime here’s a link to an article in Le Télégramme:

Une dizaine d’adultes de Bohars ont séjourné ce week-end à Tarporley, la ville jumelle

More than 70 people enjoyed a not-too-challenging quiz, refreshments and socialising at our 2025 quiz.

The quiz was hosted by our new chairperson Margaret Corlett.  David Dunning, our former and long-standing chair, introduced the proceedings.

A young persons visit to Bohars from Tarporley will take place in August 2025.  Children pay for their travel to/from France; everything else is taken care of by their French hosts.
