Cherbourg
Forget what you’ve heard—there’s a lot more to Cherbourg than meets the eye! Just a short stroll from the port, you’ll find vintage shops packed with quirky finds and charming wine bars ready to pour you a glass of local goodness. Dive into maritime history with fascinating exhibits on the Titanic and submarines, or take a jaunt to the stunning Mont Saint-Michel and the poignant D-Day landing beaches. And let’s not overlook the oysters—fresh, briny, and utterly irresistible. Cherbourg is a delightful blend of history, culture, and culinary delights that’ll have you wondering why you didn’t visit sooner!
