Cherbourg

Water is the central element in Cherbourg. This goes so far that a manufactory is located there, where umbrellas are produced that are as well-known as they are high-quality. These protect against the water that comes from above. Beyond that, however, it is above all the water of the English Channel that is meant: Not only are shipbuilding and related industries the most important pillars of Cherbourg's economy to this day, but its location on the sea has shaped its history. This has left clear traces in the cityscape.

The ferry port of Cherbourg connects France with England, Guernsey, Jersey and Ireland. A total of 6 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Condor Ferries, Stena Line, Brittany Fer ries and Irish Fer ries.
