Grand-Bourg
Marie-Galante is an island of the Guadeloupe archipelago, a French overseas territory in the Caribbean.

The island is also known for its many windmills, beaches, and historic plantations.
Boone
Boone is located in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. It is a popular destination in large part because it is the home of Appalachian State University, but even independent of the school, it is a great tourist destination. It also makes a good base for a ski vacation. The town has a population of just over 17,000 and is the county seat of Watauga County. It's named for the well known American pioneer, Daniel Boone.
