Situated on the Cotentin Peninsula, Cherbourg offers everything you could want from a seaside town in France – manicured gardens, charming shops, and restaurants with fabulous food and just as good a view. As a port, Cherbourg is a maritime institution shaped by early transatlantic travel and submarine building. Its massive man-made harbor, constructed under the reign of Louis XVI, is one of the largest in the world.
The road from Cherbourg leads to several fascinating points of interest within the region of Normandy. In nearby Tourlaville, you can explore the Chateau des Ravalets, a stunning example of Renaissance style. Cherbourg is not far from Normandy - site of D-Day battles.
