About Us
The Twinning Association was founded in Gouesnou in 1989. Our activities have been many and various and have included regular trips to Gouesnou and vice versa by individuals, families and groups. Football, running and rugby clubs have enjoyed exchanges as well as walking groups and choirs.
Each November, visits to schools in Gouesnou have enabled us to teach local school children about Brecon and Wales. Return visits to Brecon enable local school children here to meet, talk and learn from Gouesnou visitors.
Larger visits from Brecon to Gouesnou in May involve us enjoying trips around Brittany as well as social and cultural events. Visits from Gouesnou to Brecon have seen us showcasing the beautiful area in which we live and returning the generous hospitality shown to us when in France.
Amdanon ni
Ffurfiwyd y gymdeithas efeillio yn Gouesnou ym 1989, ac mae wedi bod yn gweithredu ers hynny. Mae ein gweithgareddau wedi bod yn niferus ac amrywiol, gan gynnwys teithiau cyson i Gouesnou ac Aberhonddu gan unigolion, teuluoedd a grwpiau. Mae timau pêl-
Bob mis Tachwedd mae ymweliadau ag ysgolion yn Gouesnou wedi’n galluogi i ddysgu plant ysgol lleol yno am Aberhonddu a Chymru. Mae ymweliadau ag Aberhonddu yn galluogi plant ysgol Gouesnou i gwrdd â, i siarad ac i ddysgu am ein bro ni.
Mae ymweliadau o Aberhonddu i Gouesnou ym mis Mehefin yn ein galluogi i fwynhau teithiau o gwmpas Llydaw, ac i fynychu digwyddiadau cymdeithasol a diwylliannol. Mae ymweliadau ag Aberhonddu ym mis Ebrill yn ein galluogi i arddangos y fro hardd rydyn ni’n byw ynddi, ac i roi croeso hael, tebyg i’r un a gawn ni wrth ymweld â Ffrainc.
Gouesnou
is a town just north of the naval port of Brest, sitting on the west coast of Brittany. It has a proud gastronomic heritage and is known for its cider, onions, asparagus and crêpes, all of which we highly recommend. The coastline is extremely beautiful and reminiscent of Cornwall or West Wales. Brittany has a distinctive culture, and the language of Breton has many similarities with Welsh as seen in the words below:

Gouesnou
Tref ychydig i’r gogledd o harbwr morwrol Brest, sydd ar arfordir gorllewinol Llydaw. Mae’r arfordir yn hynod o hardd, ac yn ymdebygu i Gernyw neu Orllewin Cymru. Mae gan Lydaw ddiwylliant cyfoethog unigryw, ac mae’r iaith Lydaweg yn aml yn ymdebygu i’r Gymraeg, fel y dengys y geiriau uchod:
Mae gan Lydaw dreftadaeth gastronomegol wych, ac mae’n adnabyddus am ei seidr, wynwns, asbaragws a chrempogau – a gallwn eu hargymell i gyd!
