FLYING Francophiles are wanted to join a twinning trip to the Loire Valley this summer.

The Wantage, Grove and District Twinning Association is planning the trip to Mably, France, from July 9 to 15.

Tourists will stay with French families and go on trips most days with the whole twinning group.

Spokesman Simon Weston urged people to sign up the chance to visit the town in the ‘beautiful’ Roannaise region of the upper Loire Valley.

The deputation will fly from Birmingham to Lyon and transport will be arranged at both ends.

Alternatively, tourists can make their own way to Mably and pay £125 to cover French coach hire.

Total transport costs will be in the region of £400 and French hosts and the French twinning group will meet the costs of days out and and most meals.
