There are links between the Borough and Landkreis Wesermarsch in
Germany, Waterlooville and Maurepas in France, Emsworth and St.
Aubin in France and Hayling Island and Gorron, Mayenne,

WATERLOOVILLE AREA TWINNING ASSOCIATION (WATA) was established
with the objective of promoting within our community a greater
understanding of France, its customs, culture and language through
direct contact with a similar community in France. Waterlooville is
twinned with the French town of Maurepas which is situated about 5
miles from Versailles, just south-west of Paris. The Association
encourages its members to form links with a family in Maurepas,
visiting each other on alternate years (staying with
partners).
