SAINT VAST PORT
Read moreAccessible when the door is open, and therefore depending on the tide, the port of Saint-Vaast has several hundred moorings, including a part reserved for passing yachtsmen, which sail along the superb Cotentin coastline. Ideally located, it is not off-centre, unlike many other ports. As soon as you disembark, you can enjoy the active life of the port directly - and Saint-Vaast's is undeniably so. The well-situated harbour master's office is the nerve centre of the whole.
CHERBOURG-MANCHE AIRPORT
Read moreIt's an attractive airport with well-maintained facilities. As well as offering a wide range of leisure aviation services (the flying club is particularly dynamic), the airport also offers numerous tourist flights to Tenerife, Crete, the Canaries, Croatia... A restaurant, called "Le Tarmac", is located here. Access from Cherbourg is easy: allow around 15 minutes, or a little more when traffic is heavy.
