The year 2026 is a significant anniversary for the Franco-Portuguese Association (AFP) of Boissise-le-Roi / Orgenoy, commemorating its 40 years of existence. This milestone coincides with the 10th anniversary of the twinning between Boissise-le-Roi and the town of Alvelos in Portugal, celebrated in June. These festivities highlighted the strong bonds of friendship, culture, and sharing that unite the two communities.
A highly anticipated event, the traditional Saint-Jean festival, scheduled for late June, had to be postponed due to high temperatures and to ensure everyone's safety. This decision, made in agreement with the municipality, was regrettable but deemed necessary. A new date is currently being considered.
Following the resumption of its activities in September, the AFP is approaching the end of 2026 with enthusiasm and is already preparing for 2027. The choir and hiking section, launched this year, are actively contributing to the association's dynamism, offering new opportunities for convivial gatherings and exchanges.
The 40th-anniversary year will conclude in November 2026 with the Saint-Martin festival, another key event in the association's life, celebrated in a spirit of sharing and conviviality.
The AFP extends its warm gratitude to all its volunteers, members, partners, and supporters for their loyalty and commitment. To stay updated on the association's news and upcoming events, follow the AFP on its social media channels.
