Come and visit La Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg, a family attraction all about man’s adventures under the sea, and a must when you are in Normandy. You can spend the whole day here and go round “Titanic, return to Cherbourg”, an exhibition which has its like nowhere else in France. It is on the theme of the celebrated liner, but also on emigration. You will also be able to listen to the Captain of Le Redoutable telling you about his life on board the largest submarine open to the public in the world. Then you will gaze in awe at our 17 aquariums, including the magical, 11-metre-deep, Abyssal Aquarium.

"Spent all day there and still didn't see it all it a first seems expensive at 18 euro but you certainly get value for money the new Titanic exhibition is very well done and very informative and for the men the nuclear sub is great"
"Excellent museum in the Roule fort tells the story of the occupation of Cherbourg and its relief by the allies in 1944 lots of information accompanied by photographs film and models together with some of the equipment used all at a modest 4 euros we spent 2 hours quite happily.Only 2 draw backs unus..."ually for France there is no refreshment facility and it is a steep and quite long walk to it there does not appear to be a bus service

"My husband and I spent 4 hours at cite de la mer, but could easily have had another 2. It is an amazing place which has been well thought out and put together. There is an enormous amount of information. We would not recommend getting the audio which costs extra as it is very irritating and doesn't ..."add much.
