26: Proud To Be a Twin

This banner celebrates Axminster’s close relationship with its French twin town of Douvres la Délivrande, a small community in Normandy near the D-Day beaches and close to the city of Caen. The two towns were officially twinned in 1999. Douvres la Délivrande is a beautiful town, a mixture of old and new, and has about the same population as Axminster.

Axminster Twinning Association exists to enable the people of both towns to explore their cultural differences. Twinning provides the opportunities for people from different backgrounds to share experiences and ideas, and build relationships.
