As part of this visit to Bristol, the Association Bordeaux Bristol spoke to us at the Bristol Bordeaux Partnership and we liaised with Zoe Gibbons, Twining Officer at Bristol City Council, to enable the recent children’s visit to Bristol to include a visit to City Hall.
They had a tour of the council building and even got a chance to see the debating chamber where all the council decisions are made.
What was especially exciting was that Zoe arranged for a visit by the Mayor, Marvin Rees to meet the group.
He chatted with the children and answered their questions. Valerie had to translate the replies into French, which was probably quite a challenge when the subject was his thoughts on the recent vote to end the role of City Mayor and what that may mean for Bristol.
