“We took them into St Mary’s Church to view some videos about Tadcaster made in recent years, which they enjoyed and applauded.

“They loved the horses at the Angel and White Horse and were pleasantly surprised to see the new signpost pointing in the direction of Saint-Chély.”

A party from Tadcaster will visit the South of France twin town in August. Anyone interested should contact Andrew on [email protected].
