CARMEL, IN – The City of Carmel is looking for volunteers to serve on a new not-for-profit Sister Cities Committee for Rueil-Malmaison and invites any resident of Carmel to attend an informational meeting December 5 in the Council Chambers, on the 2nd floor, at Carmel City Hall.
On October 18, Mayor Jim Brainard and Mayor Patrick Ollier signed an official Memorandum of Understanding establishing a formal sister city partnership between Carmel and Rueil-Malmaison, Hauts-de-Seine, France. The agreement is designed to promote international goodwill, understanding, student educational exchanges and expanded business relationships between the two cities and their respective nations.
The new committee will oversee and help to promote and facilitate those cultural exchanges between Carmel and Rueil-Malmaison. By attending this meeting you can learn more about the details of serving on the committee.
Rueil-Malmaison, or simply Rueil, is in the western suburbs, about 20 minutes from the center of Paris. It has a population of nearly 80,000 and is one of the wealthiest suburbs of Paris. Rueil is famous for the Château de Malmaison, home of Napoleon Bonaparte's first wife, Joséphine de Beauharnais.
Several major French companies have their world headquarters in Rueil-Malmaison, which has an extensive fiber optics network in its business district. Many large international companies have also located their French headquarters in Rueil-Malmaison.
