During the drive, take in the lovely sights of nature, as well as the breathtaking Normandy coastline and open sea.

Port Racine

Also known as the smallest port in France, Port Racine is a tiny harbor located at about 30 minutes of Cherbourg’s city center. It was also one of the favorite places of the poet Jacques Prévert, a beloved 20th-century writer known for his simple and vivid style.

There’s a convenient point where you can stop just above the harbor where you can spot the tiny, picturesque port nestled between rocky surfaces. From here, you can enjoy the view of the moored fishing boats protected by stone walls, and the vast sea beyond.

Goury

The next highlight on your tour is the coastal village of Goury. This place is famous for its impressive coastal scenery, its port, and the 19th-century Goury lighthouse which stands offshore on its rocky islet. In addition, Goury is well known for its powerful marine current, the Raz Blanchard, also known as the Alderney Race. This tidal stream is one of the strongest in Europe and creates dramatic waves and currents that can be admired even from the roadside.

Panoramic Drive Through Cherbourg City Center

After you return to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, you continue your tour with a scenic drive through the city. As you make your way through the center, you pass lively streets and then follow the waterfront, where you can take in views of this historic naval port. Along the way, you discover how Cherbourg has shaped France’s maritime history and why it still ranks among the world’s largest artificial harbors.

Belvedere of Fort du Roule Viewpoint

Afterward, you head up to the Belvedere of Fort du Roule, where you stop to admire the view. From this elevated vantage point, you can look out over the city and its expansive harbor, enjoying a broad and memorable panorama.
