Manche

Cherbourg, an important naval base since Napoleonic times, is a busy ferry port. The marina has over 1,000 moorings but most visitors head south into the coutnryside.

Mont St Michel rises majestically from the sand flats. An architectural jewel, it is a magnet for tourists all through the year with its narrow streets and steps to the summit.

St Lô was devastated during WWII and few old buildings remain. Trout fishing in the nearby river Vire is popular.

Coutances’ 13th century gothic cathedral is not as famous as its cheese.
