Solihull Mayor welcomes students from Cholet


CASTLE Bromwich councillor - and Mayor of Solihull - Mike Robinson recently welcomed a group of students from the borough's twin town in France.
The delegation from Lycée Renaudeau, a college in the town of Cholet, were given a personal tour of the Civic Suite and had the chance to find out more about Coun Robinson's duties.
The group of 16-19-year-olds had been invited to the UK as part of an exchange programme organised by the Sixth Form College, Solihull.
Coun Robinson, who was presented with an embroidered towel by the French contingent, said: "It was a great afternoon, perfect for sharing some of Solihull's historical moments with a group of very nice young people."
The teenagers also visited some of the region's top attractions, including Warwick Castle, Cadbury's World and the Black Country Museum, during their visit.

Cholet:
* Is a town in western France with a population of more than 50,000.
* It found itself in the grip of a ferocious power struggle during the French Revolution.
* The biggest industry is the production of linen and linen handkerchiefs.
