French and German high school students welcomed at the Thouars Town Hall.

On Monday, October 5th, high school students from Thouars and their German counterparts from Diepholz were welcomed at the Town Hall, marking a new step in the exchanges between the two twin towns.

During their stay in Thouars, French high school students and their German counterparts from Diepholz were welcomed at the Town Hall on Monday, October 5th. This meeting is part of the regular exchanges between the Jean-Moulin high school in Thouars and the Graf-Friedrich-Schule in Diepholz.
These cultural exchanges allow young people to discover another culture while forging new connections. Officially twinned since 1969, Thouars and Diepholz have maintained regular relations for decades between their inhabitants, associations, schools, and institutions.
This initiative is a significant way to pass on Franco-German friendship to new generations and to strengthen the bonds between the two cities.
