Cherbourg is a popular resort destination with a prime location in the Normandy region of France. It lies on a northern tip of France. It's around an hour and a half to Caen and just a couple of hours to Rennes.

Cherbourg port is a popular choice for ferries and cruise lines alike. The marina is also an important sporting location hosting regular nautical races.

Cherbourg itself is immersed in art and culture and this is clearly evident from a premier selection of museums and theatres. If you get the chance, visit the Cité de la Mer - Europe's tallest cylindrical aquarium!

Cherbourg has been an important city throughout history and you can see evidence of this all around you. In the 4th century, Cherbourg was a fortified Roman military cam. It became evangelised during the 5th century by Saint Eriptiole, first bishop of Coutances. As you walk around you'll find evidence of the battles that led to reclamation by the French in 1450 and the capture by the Germans between 1940 and 1944.
