This is the smallest fishing harbour in France - very pretty. Well worth a visit - not too far from Bar Marbella in Omonville la Rogue - good excuse for a beer! La Maison du Biscuit - en route to Cateret. An aladdin's cave, quite literally, it's a traditional French gourmand deli. La Cite de la Mer - Cherbourg. Definitely worth a visit - it was the 2nd most visited place in France in 2005 after Euro Disney! Ludiver - Spectacular planetarium up near the Hague. Velorail – Conde-sur-Vire (0233054655). Cycle carriages that go along old disused railway tracks for 11 km’s (5.5 km’s each way – you turn the cart around!) The scenery is wonderful as you peddle along – very near the spectacular Ham Rocks which are great for climbers. Forest Adventure – St Sauveur le Vicomte (0233525742). A chance to swing though the trees like Tarzan (but with harnesses). For all age groups at all different levels of fitness. A real adrenaline rush! The area is littered with restaurants - too many to list, but enough that you could eat at a different one each night! The French have spent a lot of money upgrading the old railway lines into wonderful cycle paths, which also double up for great walks. The area is also great for horse riding and sand kiting on the many beautiful beaches.
