Located, in Normandy, at the extremity of the Cotentin Peninsula, Cherbourg is at the heart of a magnificent region graced with a temperate climate which permits diverse rare plantes to thrive. To the east, we find the pleasant Val de Saire ; to the west, the savage and impressive hague. The features of these two areas oppose and simultaneously compliment one another. Filmmakers have been seduced by the quality of the light found there, these regions have served as locations for many films.
