The Amitié Franco-Tchèque has been in existence since 1994, but the first meetings between Mêlois and the inhabitants of the small village of Libčany date back to 1989. The village of Libčany is 10 km west-south-west of the centre of Hradec Králové and 91 km to the east-north-east of Prague. Exchanges take place twice every three years. Youth exchanges are also planned. To finance these exchanges, the association founded a theatre company that has been performing every March in Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe, at the Daniel Rouault hall, for over 25 years. Our plans are to develop youth exchanges, and to continue exchanging ideas with our Czech friends on subjects such as culture, social life, history, music, tourism, sport, etc.... We are also keen to keep the theatre company going. The association is enriched by its active members, who like to meet up and create friendships. Without these links, the association could not function. If you feel like joining us, don't hesitate to get in touch - you'll be very welcome.
