This itinerary explores Cherbourg's rich history through three key sites. Begin at the Museum of the Liberation housed in Fort du Roule, documenting the city's crucial role in WWII as the first major port liberated by Allied forces. Continue to the Roule Mountain viewpoint for panoramic views of the harbor and English Channel. End at Château des Ravalet, a Renaissance castle surrounded by 18-hectare gardens with the 'Jardin Remarquable' label. The museum is closed on Mondays, has a midday break (12:30-14:00), and closes from mid-November to early February.
