Plans to twin Celbridge with posh Paris suburb

Politicians in north Kildare are to consider twinning Celbridge with Versailles city in France.

Officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs will give a presentation on the issue at the next meeting of Celbridge-Leixlip Municipal District on October 20.

Located west of central Paris, Versailles was the de facto capital of the Kingdom of France for over a century, from 1682 to 1789, before becoming the cradle of the French Revolution.
