An old port town that is known primarily for providing cross channel ferries, Cherbourg is a unique place to visit, thanks to its incredibly beautiful architecture, that can be seen through the array of churches that are scattered across the town, as well as the popular museums that show the towns rich history, and especially its links to the French navy, and there are also many stretches of beaches and seafronts for you to explore and enjoy before your journey.
