Cité de la Mer, Cherbourg
-
This new attraction, which creates an enthralling “subaquatic sensation”, has proved extremely popular, so in high season it’s advisable to arrive as early in the day as possible. The former maritime station is now home to Europe’s deepest aquarium. An added attraction is Le Redoutable, the first visitable French nuclear-powered submarine (built at Cherbourg). All of this introduces the visitor to the wonders of the underwater world, and to human adventures and achievements there. Allow three hours for your visit.
