RICHMOND IN EUROPE ASSOCIATION

The Richmond in Europe Association is a voluntary organisation which promotes goodwill, friendship, contact and understanding between individuals, groups, clubs and associations in the Richmond area and the rest of Europe. Since the referendum there has been a surge of interest in the association.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first twinning, and many exchange visits and events are planned, including a European Youth Council in Konstanz, to which the young people of Richmond have been invited.

FONTAINEBLEAU, FRANCE

The historic and charming town of Fontainebleau lies to the southeast of Paris, surrounded by one of the largest and most beautiful national forests in France.
The main reason for the growth of the town of Fontainebleau was the existence of the Royal Palace and, consequently, the town has a grand air with immense historic interest. The town is also an academic centre of international renown, as well as being host to major show jumping and racing events.
