    One of the highest point in Cherbourg. But the exceptional panorama allows a view of the city

      From the avenue Etienne-Lecarpentier, a winding road leads to a fortress on top of the Montagne du Roule (112m). "Roule" is an old word for "grès" (sandstone). The Germans, who had entrenched themselves in the fort, surrendered in June 1944 after fierce resistance.

        The terrace on the perimeter wall offers a beautiful view* of the city, the port buildings, the arsenal and the vast expanse of water (more than 1500 ha) of the Cherbourg roadstead.
