Cité de la Mer

In the echoing halls of an art deco terminal that once greeted transatlantic liners, Cité de la Mer stands as one of Cherbourg’s premier attractions. This modern, interactive maritime museum in France offers a range of exhibits, including the world’s largest tourable submarine, Le Redoutable. Visitors can explore aquariums, learn about the Titanic and emigration, and watch films on Normandy and the D-Day landings. The museum’s blend of history and technology provides a comprehensive look at maritime and local history.
