Invitation from our French sister city association:
Chers amis de La Nouvelle Orléans: Orléans Wichita New Orleans is a French organization located in Orléans, your new sister city in France, and dedicated in enhancing and strengthening relationships between citizens of both cities. It is with great pleasure that our members invite you to come visit us and see our Joan of Arc Spring Festival which will occur between April 29 and May 8. We are thrilled to make new connections with American citizens from NOLA and their organizations such as the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc and we are ready to greet you in our homes and families for you to experience the French “art de vivre” in one of the most beautiful Loire Valley cities! A très bientôt!
