	Franco-English Town Twinning : Buxton - Oignies
		After some consideration and in the spirit of friendship, it was decided during 1967 to bring together the French town of Oignies, in the Pas de Calais, and the English town of Buxton in Derbyshire, in a twinning ceremony as a remembrance to those who fell as comrades during the second world war.
		Oignies is set upon wide, flat and fertile plains that form part of this once industrious region of the Pas de Calais.
		Although Oignies is not in a tourist area, the town can offer the visitor many very pleasant walks, with the opportunity to see classic French architecture that spans many centuries, and to sample the traditional French way of life.
