Cherbourg  30 July - 1 August 2010

 




 

For this trip I decided to go by train so I booked a ticket from my home station to Brussels and then the Thalys High Speed Train to Paris only to take yet another train to Cherbourg.
I planned my trip so that I could see the "Disney Magic" in Cherbourg. The other things I wanted to visit were the Maritime Museum and the submarine "Le Redoutable".
Cherbourg is an old port that used to accomodate oceanliners and the old terminal is still there. I also rented a bike and made a trip to the nearest lighthouse at Cap Lévy.
I spent my last day looking around the port and saw some nice ferries before taking the 8 hour trainride home again.
