The winning city will be announced on Wednesday 13 December at 6pm French time, 5pm UK time. Our fingers are crossed that our twin city of Rouen will be selected as the winner. However if not, the Rouen and Norwich have already signed a pledge to work together for the next ten years at least, and the good work will continue regardless of the result.<\/p>\n

For the last four years, Norwich and Rouen have been working together to build cultural connections between the two cities. Following Brexit, Rouen did not want to lose the relationship which has existed for centuries – when the Normans built our Castle and Cathedral from Caen stone and more recently as our twin city for over 60 years.<\/p>\n

Since then, many threads and connections have been made between musicians, artists, theatre and film-makers, young people, charities and organisations.<\/p>\n\t
