Town twinning
Between 1992 and 2017 there was a town partnership with the German town of Hohen Neuendorf .
The partnership was terminated by the city council of Hohen Neuendorf, as the relationship had been broken for years. One last attempt at resuscitation was rejected by the French mayor Phillipe Baudrin "... he no longer sees any prospect of contacts ...". The French partnership committee disbanded in 2014.
