🇬🇧🤝🇫🇷 Cockermouth Twinning Trip to Marvejols – Days 1, 2 & 3!

Our Cockermouth Twinning group has been enjoying a wonderful visit to our French twin town of Marvejols! 🇫🇷❤️

Day 1: The group arrived in Marvejols and received a warm welcome at the community centre, hosted by the Youth Town Council, before meeting their host families.

Day 2: An excursion to the beautiful Causses Méjean plateau included a guided tour of the Moulin de la Borie windmill, a picnic lunch provided by the Twinning Committee and a visit to a traditional Caussenard farm. 🌿

Day 3: The group visited the Moulin de la Goutelle mill and explored some of Marvejols’ newly opened local shops. The celebrations continued with an official reception at City Hall, hosted by the Mayor and Town Council, where daffodils provided by the French Twinning Committee were planted. The day finished with an anniversary dinner and live music. 🌼🥂

📸 Here are some highlights from the first three days of the trip!
