Branston Twinning
Association signed its charter in May 1999 at Branston and in October of the same year at La Chatre
France.
La Chartre had been twinned with the German town of Syke since 1974.
The twinning
with Branston arose through an earlier connection between schools in Branston and La Chartre.La
Chartre just half an hour from Le Mans centre is favoured by English drivers taking part in the 24 hour
Le mans race in June of each year. It lies on the edge of a wine growing region, many local people growing
their own grapes. Many have caves in which they store their wine |
