It houses an exceptional collection of paintings and sculptures from the 15th to the 19th centuries. Here you can admire works by masters such as Fra Angelico, Filippino Lippi, Nicolas Poussin, Jean-Sim\u00e9on Chardin and Jacques-Louis David.

This factory perpetuates traditional craftsmanship and gave us a behind-the-scenes look at traditional umbrella making. Here, you can observe the various stages of creation, from the assembly of the wooden or metal structure to the laying of the canvas and the making of the ribs. The visit is also an opportunity to learn more about Cherbourg&#8217;s history and the important role the umbrella industry has played in its economic and cultural development.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Manufacture-de-parapluie\/i-cFM6Qzg\/0\/FgZrn54TD4gP7WfLggSPqRLSmtR3drL5VqM4nMZVB\/L\/cherbourg-manufacture-parapluie-1-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Manufacture-de-parapluie\/i-cFM6Qzg\/0\/FgZrn54TD4gP7WfLggSPqRLSmtR3drL5VqM4nMZVB\/L\/cherbourg-manufacture-parapluie-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Manufacture de Parapluies de Cherbourg\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Manufacture-de-parapluie\/i-cFM6Qzg\/0\/FgZrn54TD4gP7WfLggSPqRLSmtR3drL5VqM4nMZVB\/L\/cherbourg-manufacture-parapluie-1-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-17\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Manufacture-de-parapluie\/i-cFM6Qzg\/0\/FgZrn54TD4gP7WfLggSPqRLSmtR3drL5VqM4nMZVB\/L\/cherbourg-manufacture-parapluie-1-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Address_<\/strong> The museum is located at 22 Quai Alexandre III in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price_<\/strong> Admission is \u20ac5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opening hours_<\/strong> The museum is open all year round, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duration_<\/strong> Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour for your visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guided tours_<\/strong> Guided tours can be booked for \u20ac8 (entrance ticket included).

Chef Pierre Marion is a virtuoso at working with seafood and all kinds of fresh, local, seasonal produce. Enjoy appetizers, main courses and desserts from our 4 to 6-course menus. We enjoyed ourselves and were pleasantly surprised by the originality of what we ate. In addition to Norman traditions, the chef also draws inspiration from world cuisine. Makis, for example, whetted our appetites. Last but not least, we advise you to take the food\/wine pairing which, in our opinion, is really worth it!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/Restaurants\/n-XtNLq4\/Restaurant-Pily\/i-CnjKpNW\/0\/6dLMLBp6VVgG9xQJrVN9Hx6Z9hTgVZm25t7ZC58D\/L\/cherbourg-restaurantpily-plat-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/Restaurants\/n-XtNLq4\/Restaurant-Pily\/i-CnjKpNW\/0\/6dLMLBp6VVgG9xQJrVN9Hx6Z9hTgVZm25t7ZC58D\/L\/cherbourg-restaurantpily-plat-L.jpg\" alt=\"Michelin-starred restaurant Le Pily\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/Restaurants\/n-XtNLq4\/Restaurant-Pily\/i-CnjKpNW\/0\/6dLMLBp6VVgG9xQJrVN9Hx6Z9hTgVZm25t7ZC58D\/L\/cherbourg-restaurantpily-plat-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-19\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/Restaurants\/n-XtNLq4\/Restaurant-Pily\/i-CnjKpNW\/0\/6dLMLBp6VVgG9xQJrVN9Hx6Z9hTgVZm25t7ZC58D\/L\/cherbourg-restaurantpily-plat-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Address_<\/strong> The restaurant is located at 1 Pont Tournant in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price range_<\/strong> 68\u20ac to 98\u20ac (excluding drinks).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opening hours_<\/strong> Open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday.

A green haven of peace! You&#8217;ll discover a variety of exotic plants and trees from South America and Asia, brought back by Emmanuel Liais during his travels in the 19th century. The park&#8217;s greenhouses are very interesting, featuring a variety of environments, from a tropical rainforest to a cactus desert to a temperate tropical greenhouse. Children will enjoy discovering unusual plants such as encephalartos, a plant with an edible trunk that can live up to 1,000 years.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Parc-Emmanuel-Liais\/i-mhX8WG7\/0\/924krwpJq5vvdB3dbPGqqPHJrP7fNpTDfFHdC8Gw\/L\/cherbourg-parc-emmanuel-liais-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Parc-Emmanuel-Liais\/i-mhX8WG7\/0\/924krwpJq5vvdB3dbPGqqPHJrP7fNpTDfFHdC8Gw\/L\/cherbourg-parc-emmanuel-liais-L.jpg\" alt=\"Parc Emmanuel Liais\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Parc-Emmanuel-Liais\/i-mhX8WG7\/0\/924krwpJq5vvdB3dbPGqqPHJrP7fNpTDfFHdC8Gw\/L\/cherbourg-parc-emmanuel-liais-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-21\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Parc-Emmanuel-Liais\/i-mhX8WG7\/0\/924krwpJq5vvdB3dbPGqqPHJrP7fNpTDfFHdC8Gw\/L\/cherbourg-parc-emmanuel-liais-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Address_<\/strong> Rue Emmanuel Liais, Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Times<\/strong> <strong>&amp;<\/strong> <strong>prices_<\/strong> The park is open all year round, every day from 8am or 8:30am to 5pm or 7:30pm, depending on the season.

An educational and fascinating experience!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Batterie-du-Roule\/i-FjMqCmX\/0\/C5GhNkb98XNwFsHbq6FmSgj7WDRBbd3zjN5b6wW2p\/L\/cherbourg-batterie-roule-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Batterie-du-Roule\/i-FjMqCmX\/0\/C5GhNkb98XNwFsHbq6FmSgj7WDRBbd3zjN5b6wW2p\/L\/cherbourg-batterie-roule-L.jpg\" alt=\"  Roule battery\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Batterie-du-Roule\/i-FjMqCmX\/0\/C5GhNkb98XNwFsHbq6FmSgj7WDRBbd3zjN5b6wW2p\/L\/cherbourg-batterie-roule-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-23\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Cherbourg\/n-SPtWb3\/Batterie-du-Roule\/i-FjMqCmX\/0\/C5GhNkb98XNwFsHbq6FmSgj7WDRBbd3zjN5b6wW2p\/L\/cherbourg-batterie-roule-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit Th\u00e9o Capelle Cider and Distillery<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We enjoyed visiting the Cidrerie Th\u00e9o Capelle.
