Quai de Caligny (Outer Harbor)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take some time admiring the boats and views from the Quay in Cherbourg, from Quai de Caligny. These little boats are a stark contrast to the huge ferries that also dock at Cherbourg bringing passengers from Poole and Portsmouth.

Place Napoléon in Cherbourg

Highlight • Monument

The attraction in the colorful square in front of the port is the bronze equestrian statue of Napoleon by sculptor Armand Le Véel. Contrary to what the inhabitants of Cherbourg have long claimed, the Emperor designates the naval port and not England! The unveiling of the statue on August 8, 1858 had almost sparked a diplomatic quarrel between Napoleon III, who had gone to Cherbourg especially for the occasion, and Queen Victoria, who had been invited to the ceremony! nearby is one of the shipyard structures.
