Cherbourg is a pretty, medium-sized port town located on the English Channel. It is in the north of the La Manche department, an area rich in history, art, culture and a variety of leisure activities. A favourite spot for British tourists, much of Cherbourg’s economy is geared towards tourism and provides ample opportunities for exploring a beautiful area of France.
Cherbourg is located on the northern peninsula of Normandy, and boasts a beautiful coastline with breath-taking views. The break-water provides a wonderful haven for all water sports and sailing activities while the surrounding countryside has always attracted poets, artists, film-makers and visitors from far and wide. Cherbourg and its surrounding area provide the ideal base for those seeking a foothold in mainland Europe.
Students can enjoy the many cultural aspects of Cherbourg and also take part in their favourite sports in the multitude of venues the town provides : swimming pools, leisure centres, stadiums, etc.
The Normandy Peninsula offers a variety of coastal and country walks, so students can relax and breathe the fresh sea air, enjoying the high quality of study that we offer along with the excellent quality of life.
The region’s strategic position makes it the natural transit point between the south of England & Western Europe, providing those in the West country, Wales & the Midlands with a shorter route to many European countries, particularly Spain & Portugal.
The same advantages apply to Southern Ireland with their direct sea links to the Peninsula.
Cherbourg is at the end of the RN 13 dual carriageway which links up to the Paris motorway, whilst the SNCF provides a regular train service to Paris & other destinations.
