> Querqueville

Querqueville located in the Western of Cherbourg, there is a chapel dedicated to a Scottish Saint  Germain, in the parish graveyard, is without any doubt the older monument of this area.
The excavations had discovered a old paleo-christian basilica.

A rather unusual chapel devoted to Saint-Germain d'Ecosse. The building is tiny, fairly low but crushed down in its middle by an unfortunate 17^th to 18^th century square tower. Its interest resides above all in its shape, a perfect example of a rare kind, the cloverleaf. An archaeological dig has given us a better understanding of the structure and role of this strange edifice.

Feudalherr-Kapelle. Besuch nur nach Vereinbarung.

At the end of the last century, this was the "fashionable" resort where the people of Cherbourg came on holiday. The current Château de Nacqueville dates from the 16^th century. It was built by the Grimouville family and restored in the 19^th century by the brother of Alexis de Tocqueville who surrounded it with magnificent grounds in the English style. It was requisitioned after the Second World War to house 70,000 POWs.

Jean-François Millet was born here in 1814. In the Gruchy hamlet, visitors can see his birthplace, rebuilt by the departmental council.

At the heart of the village of Gréville-Hague, you are welcome into the authentically decorated house and birth-place of Jean-François Millet. Whilst viewing the different rooms of the traditional house, which dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, you will discover the life and works of J-F. Millet.

From Landemer to Omonville, the long-distance hiking trail, the GR 223, offers a wonderful walking tour.

Dominated by the fort built in the 18^th century on the foundations of a small fort dating from the days of Henri II, Omonville la Rogue is a charming little village with a small fishing and yachting harbour.

Jacques Prévert retired to this village, in the Val hamlet. He spent the last ten years of his life there. Visitors can see his grave in the graveyard around the village church.

This pretty village has France's smallest harbour: the Port Racine. It gets its name from a family of Cotentin pirates.

This is where Gérard Fustiberti has founded the Prévert garden in memory of his adoptive father. It is open to the public from Easter to the end of October.

The Goury lighthouse, 48 metres high, protects shipping from the dangerous narrows of the Blanchard race.

Its rescue post has saved a large number of sailors in difficulty.

This is a particularly impressive spot, with its high cliffs covered with moorland and heather with the sea crashing below. At 126 metres, the Jobourg cliffs are the highest in Europe. On a clear day, you can see Alderney and Guernsey.

Located between Diélette and Siouville, the slate Mont Saint-Pierre is a remarkable viewpoint over the beautiful Siouville beach that stretches along ten kilometres of sand and dunes.

At the start of the 19^th century, no one in this small harbour at the mouth of the river that bears the same name could have imagined that the beach contained iron. The mine started operating in 1856, far away from the great mining basins of northern France. Here, surprisingly, the digging took place beneath the sea. Diélette went through a series of ups and downs until 1951: heavy financial investment, meteorological and maritime disasters, technical problems, flooded shafts and galleries, men killed. But the memory remains of a fabulous mining adventure in the darkness of the sea.

The château, set in twenty hectares of ground, was built in the 17^th century by Hervé Basan, Marquis of Flamanville. It has a number of typically Norman features. The grounds, with their three ponds, have contained a number of exotic plants since the last century.

At more than eighty metres above the sea, the Flamanville semaphore has a view over Jersey, Guernsey, Sark and Alderney. It has been transformed into a hostel.

Near the semaphore, still on the GR 223 hiking trail, stands the "Pierre au Roy" dolmen.

The beautiful sandy beach curves over four kilometres between the Pointe du Rozel to the south and the Cap de Flamanville to the north. From the "Roche à Coucou" that overlooks the village, the eye takes in a view running from the Nez de Jobourg to Carteret.
