La Cité de la Mer is a must-see tourist site for families to discover in Normandy, as it has several thematic areas that add up to a full day’s visit!
New in 2019*, the Ocean of the Future is the new permanent route of La Cité de la Mer and a declaration of love to the beauty and essential role of the oceans. Explore the planet’s last wilderness, mysteries from the infinitely small to the ultimate frontier of large chasms through 3 floors of spectacular multimedia spaces and 17 dazzling aquariums of color and life.
Go on board the Redoutable, the largest submarine in the world that can be visited and a unique experience**. Relive the last hours of the legendary Titanic liner in an original way and then share a virtual dive in the deep sea with the whole family in the heart of the virtual animation “we walked under the sea “***. Follow the first 20 days of the Battle of Normandy for the 75th anniversary of the landings*.
And in good weather, take the bike path that crosses Cherbourg to reach the Cité de la Mer: cycle, walk, stroll, rollerblade or scooter there. This is your chance to take a nice walk!
