Means of transport Cherbourg-En-Cotentin

Cap Cotentin is all the lines that crisscross the peninsula, even offering a train service between Cherbourg and Valognes. In concrete terms, this means urban lines within the capital of the Cotentin and interurban lines on the peninsula. Within the next two years, the network will even include several bus lines with exclusive right-of-way in Cherbourg, for which work is progressing well in the city. Various attractive fare offers make it easy to find your way around financially. Tickets can be purchased online or at the sales office.

It's the largest and busiest in the département. Cherbourg station, right in the centre of town and just a few dozen metres from the Bassin du Commerce, links the city to Paris, Caen and other towns in Normandy via a dozen daily trains. Here you'll find a store selling newspapers, sandwiches and drinks. The station now benefits from improved access and a large forecourt, as the major construction work on the bus rapid transit system draws to a close.

From Cherbourg, the company offers many departures to the English coast, via several fast ships in the summer (making the crossing in less than 3 hours) or via huge ferries, the most recent of which is called Galicia. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people, individuals or professionals, use the company's boats from the capital of Cotentin: traffic, after a complicated period due to Brexit and especially the health crisis, is gradually picking up.

This vast building is the nerve centre of a busy cross-Channel port. On site, you'll find a wide range of services, including stores, restaurants, a cash dispenser, a waiting room with disabled access, and a tourist information office. The hall is alive with departures and arrivals to and from the UK, Channel Islands and Ireland. For some years now, Cherbourg has been France's leading port for trade with Ireland.
