In Normandy, at the top of the Cotentin peninsula, Cherbourg, city facing the sea, is an ideal destination for your holidays.
The 5 Cherbourg ports ( Marina, fishing, commercial, cruise and military port) are sheltered by the largest artificial harbour in Europe with its 6 km of dike.
Visitors can enjoy many water sports and activities available on site.
The Cotentin is a country of moors and groves with beautiful gardens and memories of the Vikings.
Thanks to the mild climate and unspoilt nature, you can practice rambles, vtt, golf, surfing ...
In 1944, during the landing, Cherbourg became the largest port in the world. Even today, many vestiges of this era remain and will delight history buffs.
