Cherbourg, on the tip of the Cotentin, is a ferry and cruise gateway with the Cité de la Mer. A car opens up the wild Cotentin coast and the western Landing beaches.
Rather than booking blind, compare all the major rental companies in Cherbourg side by side and pick the best price. Booking ahead for June 2027 is wise — cars sell out around the Armada and the summer season.
Driving is by far the most flexible way to see Normandy's coast, abbeys and countryside — especially the spots with no direct train. See our day trips for ideas.
