French Leave

The lovely Breton town of Morlaix set the scene for the bi-annual twinning get-together between the Rotary Clubs of Teignmouth and Morlaix, an occasion that has been taking place for over 40 years. Morlaix with it's famous bridge and cobbled streets was bathed in mellow autumn sunshine as our hosts gave us the warmest of welcomes and of course their famed Breton hospitality. I was welcomed to the imposing Hotel de Ville by M. Jean-Charles Pouliquen Adjoint au Maire, Madam Agnes le Brun and in the splendid Tristan Corbier Library I conveyed greetings and best wishes from Teignbridge. To mark the occasion I presented a Teignmouth Town Plaque and a History of Old Forde House (built 1610).
