Getting to know Cherbourg with a handy e-guide!

Who designed this statue - first correct answer wins a pint!

Finally the guide to Cherbourg I have been working on for a while is available on Kindle Books (for a modest fee).

If you are thinking of a trip across the Channel soon, you will find this guide helps you to enjoy your stay in Cherbourg by offering a range of visits both in the town and in the surrounding area, either on foot, by bike or by bus.

Find out what happened to Cherbourg castle, about the English invasion of 1758, how the breakwater was built, and how amused Queen Victoria wasn't during her visit to the town! Discover the truth behind the 'great epoch' of the transatlantic liners, and find out how the American assault on Cherbourg in 1944 ended in a most improbable duel!

It'll change your view of Cherbourg and the surrounding area, and provide ideas for many future visits as well.
