Cité de la Mer

Highlight • Historical Site

The old maritime station of Cherbourg now houses a museum which owes its existence to the Redoutable, the first French nuclear submarine. Its dismantling led to a movement that allowed the museum to see the light of day.

Quai de Caligny (Outer Harbor)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take some time admiring the boats and views from the Quay in Cherbourg, from Quai de Caligny. These little boats are a stark contrast to the huge ferries that also dock at Cherbourg bringing passengers from Poole and Portsmouth.

Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte is a castle dating from the 11th century. Sacked twice during the Hundred Years War, it is now in ruins. Although not as impressive as some castles that are still intact, this castle is open to the public and very accessible. It is a wonderful place to visit.

Voie Verte: Briquebec to Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte

Highlight • Other

A 'Voie Verte' can be translated to green way, and are French signposted paths open for non-motor traffic, including walkers and runners, cyclists, and roller skaters.

You usually find them along river or canal towpaths or disused railway lines, which means that they're typically pretty flat too!

The combination of easy riding and no traffic make these a great choice for touring cyclists of all ages.

Château de Bricquebec

Highlight • Castle

The ruins of the medieval castle of Bricquebec are still very well preserved with in particular a magnificent polygonal keep with eleven sides unique in Europe.
