This summer the municipalities of Nort-Sur-Erdre, Loire Atlantique, and Sixmilbridge, County Clare, Ireland, have signed the 151st twinning agreement between French and Irish towns and villages

Since the implementation of the twinning concept in the 1950s, more than 150 French and Irish towns and villages have found similarities in similar cultures.
