60 years ago, Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle signed the Treaty of Franco-German Friendship in the Elysée Palace. This treaty drew the basis for the friendship between these two countries, which were often hostile in the past.


It was about getting to know each other, meeting and working together in all areas of life, thus laying the foundations for a peaceful Europe.

In Selm, the town twinning committee celebrated the connection with Walincourt-Selvigny for a whole week. The week began with an invitation to Selm's New Year's reception, followed by a multimedia show to get to know the Hauts-de-France region better, a joint games evening with board and card games from the western neighbours, a tour of Selm and Cappenberg under aspects of environmental protection and integration in Europe. Other topics included typical food in the two countries, an introduction to the French language and, as a crowning finale, a chanson evening with Jean-Claude Séférian and his wife.
