Discover Créteil
Créteil is a large cosmopolitan town lying to the south of Paris, France. It is composed of the old part, known as Créteil Village with its traditional streets, shops and restaurants and the contrasting development of the ‘new town’ with its innovative architecture, variety of residential accommodation and interesting water features throughout.
Twinning may be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, by groups including educational, cultural, sporting and special needs organisations.
On this website you can find out about Falkirk district’s twin areas – Creteil and Odenwald – and how you can become a member of one or both of the local twinning associations. Both groups can give free help and advice to Scottish organisations trying to forge links with Germany and France. You’ll also find answers to frequently asked questions and the history of the local twinning associations.
There is something for everyone in twinning – and it’s fun!
