Bon jour!  Welcome to Cherbourg.

Cherbourg is located in Normandy, which is a province of France.  Ever since the reign of Louis XIV, Cherbourg has been an important port town to all of Europe. Located on the northern shore of the Cotention Peninsula of Normandy, Cherbourg is a French seaport and naval base on the English Channel. It is the largest city of the Manche department. Cherbourg's location on a wide embayment, greatly improved by a protecting jetty completed in 1853, affords a splendid harbor. It is the chief French Channel stop for transatlantic passenger liners, and many international maritimes lines maintain offices in Cherbourg. Cherbourg is also a popular seaside resort.

The city is dominated by Mount Roule, which is the site of a fortress. From the terrace at Mount Roule, one can view a magnificent panorama of the area, which includes the Naval and arsenal, as well as the lush Emmanuel Liasis park, which houses an impressive display of subtropical vegetation.

Please feel free to browse through these other various sites of interest as you enjoy your stay in Cherbourg.
