The bonds joining our towns are
founded in a dynamic mutual interest but their real value lies
in their human side.
In all areas of life, exchanges and relationships are based on
feelings and the rapport we have with the other.
It is the combination of such factors which determine the
intensity of a relationship and the quality of mutual help.
