Bothwell – Jouy-en-Josas – Twinning
Throughout Festival
We are delighted to welcome friends from our twin town, Jouy-en-Josas (near Versailles), to the 2022 Bothwell Scarecrow Festival.
Over the years there have been numerous exchange visits involving, for example, groups of veteran footballers, golfers, choir members and beekeepers. As a result, some deep friendships exist between families in Bothwell and Jouy.
Bothwell Twinning Association, in collaboration with Bothwell Community Council, Bothwell Futures, the Bothwell Scarecrow festival and the Jouy Twinning Committee, is keen to support groups and individuals in Bothwell interested in maintaining twinning activities with Jouy and developing new ones.
