From the city of Cherbourg, known as one of the oldest port cities in France, having a history that can be dated back to the Vikings, and is still one of the most instrumental cities in France, thanks to its rich history and excellent location on the coast, to the town of Poole, located close to many other port cities on the coast, but still famous in its own right, thanks to its many sandy beaches that are considered some of the best in the UK, as well as its famous pottery, which is sold in many shops across the town.
