Entrance ticket to La Cité de la Mer

-What you can expect-
Take a whole day with your family to visit La Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg, a must-see when in Normandy!

Situated in a former transatlantic liner terminal dating from the 30s, this iconic building, once a hub for prestigious ocean liners, now serves as a captivating destination dedicated to the adventure of humankind and the sea. As soon as you arrive in the entrance hall, take the time to discover an exhibition of submarines, some real, others reconstructed, that have explored the ocean floor and made discoveries, including the wreck of the Titanic. Some artefacts from the Titanic's wreck are also available to see.

Listen to the Captain of Le Redoutable telling you about his life onboard. Thanks to an audio-guided tour, learn all about the first French ballistic nuclear submarine launched here by G. de Gaulle in 1967.

Then, gaze in awe at Europe's deepest and cylindrical aquarium, 11-metre-deep, which displays several types of Polynesian fish. Admire the most beautiful corals and species as diverse as seahorses, horseshoe crabs, rays, and jellyfish. Make your discovery fun with the presence of educational digital spaces that will please both children and adults!
