On day one, we took a stroll down at Cherbourg harbour. A lovely beach with the old port building and islands very close to the modern ferry harbour, from where ships head out to northwest France, southern England and even Ireland.Read more

Day 2
June 25, 2024 in France ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
On day 2 of our journey, we had a lovely day out at the Réville Beach…a breathtaking scenery with rocks on the shore laying dry until the high tide returns, making it able to walk around to the lighthouse. On our way back, I couldn’t help…I had to take photos of the church in Réville…a truly spiritual and calm place.Read more

Day 3
June 26, 2024 in France ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
“La Mer” - by far one of the most popular French songs and a truly magnificent song it is. That’s what came to my mind the very second I saw this scenery. It’s the Cherbourg harbour, seen from the motorway. A splendid moment seeing this while listening to “La Mer”!
On the third day, we didn’t do anything special…we had to check the shops in town.Read more

Day 5
June 28, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
On Day 5 we went to see the “La Cité de la Mer”…an outstanding project that lets you visit the “Le Redoutable” (a French Nuclear Submarine), an exhibition called “l’Océan du Futur” (dedicated to sea life) and an evolving exhibition about the Titanic, the latter had its second stop in Cherbourg. All this is housed in an old ship building yard, that’s filled its purpose for many decades.Read more

Day 6
June 29, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Day 6 is a very important day in Cherbourg and its surrounding area. The 29th is when Cherbourg was freed from Nazi occupation by the allied forces during World War 2. The allies Canada and U.S. arrived on Normandy’s shores on the 6th (D-Day) but different areas were liberated on different days. Thus, starting from the 6th of June, pennant chains are to be seen everywhere. They feature the U.S.-American, Canadian, British and French flag and are hung everywhere in the sake of remembrance. In the village, that is part of Cherbourg, where we decided, the celebration was carried out with a festival where plays and musical performances were held. It was a blast visiting the celebration!Read more
