La Cité de la Mer is situated on the site of the old Transatlantic Railway Terminal in Cherbourg and is a new and unique tourist centre, of great interest both scientifically and culturally.
La Cité de la Mer offers a fantastic 3h30 journey showing the many facets of underwater exploration with human adventure as its main theme.
There are two main areas to look out for:
* The submarine section with "Le Redoutableâ? - the biggest visitable submarine in the world whose audio-guided visit takes 45 minutes.
* The ocean section with the largest aquarium in Europe containig 500,000 litres of seawater which develops the scientific angle and the museographic perspective.
This is dedicated to the under standing of the world of submarines via â??Le Redoutableâ? and the exploration and exploitation of underwater resources from a biological, industrial and archeological point of view, all at La Cité de la Mer.
