On the agenda: walks in Vannes and on the shores of the Gulf, a day in Pont-Aven and Concarneau, an evening of the Europe Day... A visit to theA visit to the Ker-Anna school was also proposed, as part of the ongoing projects for a partnership with the schools of the Wurste NordSeeKüste.

Harald Schewe, honorary mayor, spoke on behalf of his fellow citizens present. "I am still very happy and grateful for what has happened in the 20 years of our twinning. For us northern Germans, it is always a pleasure and an honor to experience the hospitality of our French friends. We have learned a lot from you, especially your gastronomic culture and your enthusiasm for life."
