Car hire Cherbourg

Cherbourg is a small town located in the Normandy region of north western France. It is officially known as Cherbourg-Octeville although locals refer to it as simply Cherbourg. The town is also known for holding an arsenal of the French Navy. Cherbourg is often overlooked as a tourist spot but its main attractions make for an interesting day trip or travel stop in an excursion around the region.

The town is compact enough to be explored on foot but many tourists still arrange for cheap car hire in Cherbourg so they can also head out to the surrounding countryside and more popular travel destinations later on. The town features a number of local landmarks such as the Cité de la Mer which houses a maritime museum, Le Trident Theatre and the Jardin Botanique de la Roche Fauconniere.

After exploring the town, travellers can head up north to the capital city of Caen using a car hire in Cherbourg. The city offers a number of attractions such as the Museum of Normandy located inside the Chateau ducal de Caen, and the Escoville Mansion. Further up north is the port town of Honfleur.

In Honfleur, there are also a number of historic and cultural attractions that are accessible with a car rental in Cherbourg. These include Sainte-Catherine Church and the bell towner, the Eugene Boudin Museum, Maisons Satie and Le Vieux Bassin et la Lieutenance. Travellers can also make a stop at the town's Maritime Museum and the Normandy Culture and Ethnography Museum.
