PictureAlbi's head of international relations, Jean-Luc Dargein-Vidal, left, enjoyed meeting Palo Alto Vice-Mayor Greer Stone.
​We were delighted to welcome a delegation from our French Sister City in September 2023.  With an eye toward expanding existing programs and rolling out new collaborations for the 30th anniversary of the relationship, the three-member delegation spent five busy days meeting with local business leaders, Stanford University energy sector thought leaders, Palo Alto elected officials and city staff, directors at the Cantor Arts Center and the Palo Alto Arts Center, the city's sustainability team, and the directorship of Neighbors Abroad, among others. Frédéric Jung, the French Consul General in San Francisco, participated in a meeting at Palo Alto City Hall with Vice Mayor Greer Stone. Palo Alto Mayor Lydia Kou graciously welcomed the group at one of several lively social events. The delegation also enjoyed time in San Francisco and Carmel, where the famous Carmel Mission features a beautiful plaque in honor of Albi Native Son Jean François de Galaup, Comte de Lapérouse. See a gallery of photos here.
