It's the capital of the Cotentin region and by far the most important city in the Manche department. With its 80,000 inhabitants, Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, world-famous for its role in the Allied liberation and for its umbrellas, is well worth a visit and more. Daughter of the sea, the town of many ports has become much more popular in recent years than the cool reputation some people give it. The many shopping streets of its old town, its architectural heritage and its intense cultural life make it a top destination. And from here, daily ferries take you across the Channel to the UK and Ireland.
