Royston Rotary Club has a longstanding association with the Rotary Club of Paray le Monial et du Charolais in the Burgundy region of France. Each year we take it in turns to visit the other club, so a party of Rotarians from the one club travels to the other club for a weekend of cultural, sporting and social activities. The following year the roles are reversed and the hosts become the guests and the guests become the hosts. We’ve been doing this for over 40 years and long-standing friendships have been formed between individual club members.The visits usually take place in high summer to take maximum advantage of all that the host country has to offer.
