The two historic villages of Raglan in Monmouthshire and Parcé-sur-Sarthe, Pays de la Loire, have recently agreed to, an initially informal, twinning between the two villages.

At a public meeting in late February 2009 residents of Raglan unanimously voted to twin with Parcé. Copies of the presentation can be viewed by clicking here. The meeting also featured a video introduction from the mayor of Parcé which is shown below.

Raglan Twinning Association, in partnership with local hostorian Cheryl Morgan, is currently working on a guide to Raglan, due to be published in spring 2010.

The booklet will provide a wealth of information on Raglan including its history and culture, details of annual events and information on the villages's clubs and societies. There will also be information about local walks from the village and profile of activities in Raglan.

The guide will be distributed free of charge in both Raglan and Parce regions.

Raglan has recently received its first official visit from representatives from Parce, including the Mayor and Deputy Mayor and their partners.

An extremely successful trip the vistors all stayed with Raglan residents, visited Raglan School, Castle, Golf club as well as joined us for the French evening at the Beaufort and at other informal receptions.

During the French themed evening the Mayor was presented with a ceremonial plaque from the people of Raglan. The Plaque will now reside in Parce's town hall.
