Excursion from the port of Sherburg for cruise passengers

Since Sherburg is a rather remote port from the center of Normandy, it is impossible to travel too far from the port during the docking of the liner to return in time for departure.

Sherburg is a small city, but very famous both as a port and as a city, because it was there that the famous very romantic film “Umbrellas of Sherburg” was filmed, which became a classic of French cinema. And even all the excursions in the city are associated with different episodes from the film.

Sherburg is very different from other cities in Normandy. Located on the Cotententen peninsula, this makes it unique, but Napoleon saw the great strategic future of this port.

It has its own rich history, connected with the sea, transatlantic liners, the dream of Europeans about the distant alluring America.

If your ship for a day docked at the shore of Sherburg, then these are the trips we can make with you from the port to feel the atmosphere of Cotentin:

1.Scherburg-Barfleur-Bayeux-Scherburg. Barfleur is a village listed in the list of the most picturesque villages in Europe. Bayeux - one of the oldest cities of Normandy, keeps tapestries of the XI century.

2.Scherburg - Saint-Mer-Aeglies - Bayeux - Scherburg. In Saint-Mer-Aeglies there is a museum of American paratroopers, associated with the history of the Battle of Normandy on June 6, 1944 and the beaches of landings of Americans, British, Canadians in World War II. It's a very interesting topic. Many of you have probably seen the movie Saving Private Ryan. I'll show you where the film took place. I will show you the "new history" of Normandy, which it honors and preserves, whose soldiers lie in the fields under white crosses.
