From Cherbourg, the road heads west, east or south. North gets a bit soggy. We headed west last Christmas and decided to retrace our trip without the driving rain and wind.
Driving directly, it only takes about 30 minutes to west coast, but we stopped quite a bit for photos. We stopped for lunch near Jobourg (see marker above) and after that we headed south as far as Siouville-Hague. The captions with the photos tell the story.

Perrier, rose from a stoneware jug, then followed up with crepes.A vendre. Needs a little work but comes with a carLooks so peaceful and calm overlooking the Channel. But there is a reason why there are no trees. The few that grow along here are at a 45 degree angle.Soaking up the rays at Dielette harbour.
