Tarporley, Cheshire, England – Bohars, Brittany, France
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.

Over the 2024 May Bank Holiday a group of us from Tarporley, Duddon, Huxley, Bunbury and other local villages travelled to Bohars.
There was a welcome supper at the newly-renovated Bohars community hall, the picture below shows us standing outside it in the very bright evening sunshine.
Another day we ate in a restaurant with spectacular views over Brest harbour, and our other activities included a visit to the Stang Botanic Garden and its greenhouses, a trip to the city of Quimper with a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Saint-Corentin Cathedral. A great time was had by all!
In May 2024 the Tarporley Twinners will be making their bienniel* visit to Bohars in Brittany for the May Bank Holiday weekend; approximately may the 3rd to the 6th 2024.
If you’re interested in joining us, please get in touch!
We’ll be staying with families in Bohars, outside Brest, and visiting some beautiful parts of the surrounding coutryside and seaside in the company of our French hosts. There will also be good food to be eaten!
*Biennial means once every 2 years. Had to look that one up myself.
