Located at the top of Normandy's substantial western Cotentin peninsula, the deep natural harbor here is backed by steep wooded hillsides, and it was an obvious place for a fortified port. Cherbourg prides itself on its vibrant local lifestyle and culture including its Italian-style theater, art and history museums, its basilica, the Ravalet castle and, of course, the Cite de la Mer. Set on the green slopes of the Cotentin, the city hosts the second largest artificial harbor in the world, part of the legacy of the 18th century.
Take one of the most spectacular driving routes in the world; France. Combine with a Rental Car and visit; Paris (the romantic City of Lights, stroll the Champs Elysses and indulge in the incomparable French cuisine), next is Alabaster Coast (part of the French coast of the English Channel, corresponding to the coastline of Pays de Caux and forming almost all of the coastline of Seine-Maritime); after that, Cote Fleurie (a 40-kilometre stretch offering sandy beaches, cliffs, and very popular and charming seaside resorts); and then, D-Day Beaches (Allied code names for the beaches along the 50- mile stretch of Normandy coast targeted for landing were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword). From there, drive to Cherbourg Peninsula (also known as the Cherbourg Peninsula, is a peninsula in Normandy that forms part of the northwest coast of France). End this trip with a couple of spectacular nights, again in Paris before heading back home. This is a flexible vacation package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.
