Norfolk & Norwich Rouen Friendship Association
|
|
The Association was set up in 1990 and its counterpart is the Rouen-Norwich-Club in Rouen. Both are part of the twinning that has existed between the two cities since 1959. The aims are to promote friendship and links with an emphasis on setting up reciprocal exchanges between groups and individuals with similar interests: sports groups, artists, archaeologists, clinicians, musicians and youth are just some successful examples.
Both associations arrange four-day visits in alternate years to the other city and many long-term friendships have developed. NNRFA's 2017 trip to Rouen included a visit to the stone quarries of Caen and a boat trip from Honfleur. Each visit includes a programme of activities and a civic reception.
Why get involved?
While it’s easy to visit France, twinning exchanges, whether between individuals or groups, offer new perspectives and a very different experience. Norwich and Rouen links have been built up over the years on the enormous goodwill and enthusiasm of many people in both cities. If you're in a group that is interested in an exchange with a similar group in Rouen, let us know and we will try to find a contact for you. Or if you'd like to visit Rouen with us, why not join NNRFA? In 2019 we celebrate 60 years of twinning and our visit to Rouen will coincide with the next Armada to take place in June. Join here.
