[EN] Along the Avenue de l'Europe, in front of the Varennes park, a flower bed and shrubs include two directional and distance arrows.

The first, on a yellow background, mentions the German city of Meßstetten and the distance of 859 km. The second, higher and on a black background, mentions the English town of Buntingford and the distance of 318 miles.

These two towns are twinned with the municipality of Luynes: Buntingford in 1978, and Meßstetten in 1984. The distances indicated correspond to those separating Luynes from each of these towns. On the other hand, the directions of the arrows do not correspond to reality, and were placed thus for aesthetic reasons.
