25th Anniversary of Antibes Jumelages. Grande Fête !
Forty people came from Schwäbisch Gmünd to celebrate with us.
Some of them (Egon, Edelbert, Heinz-Peter) were with us when Antibes Jumelages was founded in 1984.
The bus from Gmünd arrived on Friday afternoon. In the evening we had a welcome dinner with our visitors. On Saturday morning the "chêne de l'amitié" was planted in the Eilenroc gardens and then the official celebration took place in the Villa. Afterwards Mayor Leonetti offered a grandiose reception on the terrace of Villa Eilenroc.The other highlight of our 25th anniversary was a dinner and dance organized by the association at the Eden Casino in Juan-les-Pins.Over 150 members and guests enjoyed the evening until well after midnight!
