Cherbourg
Strategically built on the Channel in the extreme west of Normandy, Cherbourg has survived a tumultuous past!
It was sacked by the English in 1295 and captured by the British in 1758 when its port facilities were destroyed. It was also occupied by the Germans in 1940 but recaptured by the Allies in 1944.
