Life in Cherbourg is all about passing boats and ships and the tides! The town is protected by the seawall and forts that surround the harbour. There is also a fishing port, marina, commercial port, cruise port and a military port.
La Cité de la Mer is a must-see of Cotentin. Come and take a tour of this magical, fun, poetic, and educational place devoted to the exploration of the underwater world, in the Art-deco style former Transatlantic passenger terminal. Venture aboard the submarine Le Redoutable, and see what it’s like to explore the depths. Experience for yourself the very last hours of the Titanic.
