Dawlish Twinning Association DTA Twiinned with Carhaix-Plouguer in Brittany to promote cultural links and exchange visits Dawlish is twinned with Carhaix-Plouguer in central Brittany.

We run a four-day group visit each year, with Carhaix receiving visitors one year and Dawlish returning the hospitality the next. We have also fostered a link between Westcliff Primary Academy school in Dawlish and the primary school ‘Enfant Jésus’ in Brittany, with pupils exchanging information and resources. Throughout the year members keep in touch through regular social events, such as quiz nights, skittles evenings, informal meals and trips out. FAQs
WHAT HAPPENS ON AN EXCHANGE VISIT? Guests spend part of the time with their host family, getting to know them and doing things together. For the remainder of their stay, they join the whole group for a programme of joint activities. DO I HAVE TO HOST A FRENCH FAMILY IN RETURN? You would be expected to entertain your French partners, but if you are unable to host, another family will provide accommodation. HOW FLUENT IN FRENCH DO I NEED TO BE? We have several fluent speakers who can help with translation, but as long as you're willing to make the effort, you'll be surprised how how well you can communicate yourself. It all adds to the fun! HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN?
£15 per household, per annum. WHERE CAN I FIND OU MORE? Contact Dill Cameron on 01626 862261 or email: [email protected]

During the day, John visited the beautiful village of Huelgoat to the north of Carhaix. In the evening, he and some others had dinner with Nadine and Lucien, who showed them an Asian hornet’s nest he had found in one of his outbuildings. It is abandoned in winter as the worker hornets die off and the queen takes refuge elsewhere. She then establishes a new nest the following year. The nest was hanging from a roof beam and just fell to the ground.

Alison walked round L’Etang des Sources at Maël-Carhaix with Gérard. It’s a beautifully maintained park laid out around two bodies of water with a rich collection of aquatic plants, heritage roses, clematis, and majestic trees. Dotted amongst the trees and plants were some intriguing pieces of art.
