Julie, the director of The Originals City, Hotel at Pic, is full of energy. Recently appointed to lead this 3-star, 54-room establishment located not far from downtown Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, Julie knows where she is heading: "Supported by a family passionate about hospitality for 2 generations, and who built this hotel, I have taken the helm of the team to take on new challenges by bringing my expertise, know-how, and infusing innovative ideas!" Her first idea: collaborating with local graffiti artist Blesea to decorate the rooms and reception wall. In love with her region, Julie has also chosen to showcase Cotentin products in the restaurant, much to the delight of guests with whom she enjoys exchanging ideas. Julie understands that encounters can change lives; after all, she fell into the hospitality industry during a coffee break.

Originally created for defensive purposes, the harbor is still surrounded today by numerous forts. The highest among them, Fort du Roule, offers a breathtaking view of the city and the harbor, which hosts four major ports: commercial, military, recreational, and fishing.
One of the most beautiful maritime museums in France has taken up residence in... a train station. More precisely, the former transatlantic train station of Cherbourg.

In Old French, "boëls" means "alleys" or "narrow streets." It has nothing to do with any charcuterie reference. Here, "boëls" refers to the narrowness of the few streets in medieval Cherbourg that escaped the bombings of World War II. Secretive and unknown, these alleys are worth a visit if only to admire the facades made of blue schist, typical of the Cotentin region.
