The links between Cork and Rennes www.ville-rennes.fr have been developing each year since the two cities were twinned in 1982. The participation of Cork in the Rennes International Fair each year forms the cornerstone on which so many activities are built. The city of Rennes makes available to the City Council, free of charge, space for the Stand and also provides the necessary technical services for the mounting of the Stand. The Fair provides a forum not just for bringing of information about Cork's tourist and business potential, but also provides opportunities for exploring ways in which the links between the two cities can be further developed.  

Some of the twinning activities which take place are:

·              Annual participation in Rennes Fair www.rennesparcexpo.fr

·              Rennes Cork Twinning Committee

·              Participation in European Network – Conference of Atlantic Arc Cities www.atlanticcities.eu

·              Visit of Stade Rennais Rugby to Cork in February 2009
