VOLUNTEERS are being sought to host French visitors from Wigan's twin town of Angers.

Members of the Twinning Commission are due to visit from the Loire Valley town between August 24 and 28.

Ambassador Lucie Duverger is looking for people who might be interested in having one or more to stay.

She said: "The whole idea of the twinning is to bring the two cultures closer together and what better way to get to know someone properly than to live in their home with their family?"

In exchange for offering your traditional Lancashire hospitality, you have the opportunity to make new friends and learn a new language.

For more information, contact Lucie on 01942 828175.
