Cherbourg, in Normandy, was the only ship excursion we went on: Panoramic Cherbourg.
We drove along the coast where we saw a sea wall made of vertical stones. . .
ships in the harbor. . .
and sleepy little villages.
Our destination was Chateau des Ravalet. Do you see the "ghost of Ravalet"? I confess, this was taken out a bus window. . . that's me.
We didn't really go inside since the gardens are the focal point.
But if you want to know more about the history of the chalet,

I loved the autumn colors mixed with tropical plants in such a beautiful setting.
After a walk through town (this is one of the places a person could walk to town from the ship, but there was a shuttle for $9), we hopped on the bus to go back to the ship.
Cherbourg was the last place the Titanic was before it headed across the Atlantic---that is our ship in the background.
Although we walked right onto the ship, by the time we got to our room, a line had formed. . .
But, we just sat on our balcony enjoying the view.
