The Cotentin Peninsula, also known as the Cherbourg Peninsula, is a peninsula in Normandy that forms part of the northwest coast of France. It extends north-westward into the English Channel, towards Great Britain. To its west lie the Channel Islands and to the southwest lies the Brittany Peninsula.
The peninsula lies wholly within the department of Manche, in the region of Lower Normandy.
It is part of the Armorican Massif (with the exception of the Plain lying in the Paris Basin) and lies between the estuary of the Vire river and Mont Saint-Michel Bay. It is divided into three areas: the headland of La Hague, the Cotentin Pass (the Plain), and the valley of the Saire River (Val de Saire). It forms the bulk of the department of Manche. Its southern part, known as "le Marais" (the Marshlands), crosses from east to west just to the north of Carentan and Lessay and marks a natural border with the rest of Manche.
The largest town in the peninsula is Cherbourg on the north coast, a major cross-channel port. Other towns of note: Valognes, Barfleur, Bricquebec, Barneville-Carteret, Beaumont Hague, Les Pieux, La Haye du Puits, Montebourg.

Granville in the Normandy, a climatic spa and seaside resort, lies in the southwest of the peninsula Cotentin. The life of this town was linked with the sea. It does not surprise that a fishing port and a yacht port determine the urban features. In addition you find spacious sandy beaches outside the town. The name of the town derives from the noble family of Grant, who got their possessions from William the Conqueror. Due to missing male descendants, in 1230, the town was transferred to the Argouges family. There were always close relations between Saint Michel and Granville, since the churches of Saint Michel were built of granite originating from the neighborhood of Granville. After the Kingdom of England had conquered the complete Normandy, with the exception of Saint Michel, Sir Th...
