This impressive peak towers 112 meters above the port city of Cherbourg-en-Contentin. At the top is a fort which now houses a Liberation Museum. The view of the city and the coastline is breathtaking.

One of the highest point in Cherbourg. But the exceptional panorama allows a view of the city

From the avenue Etienne-Lecarpentier, a winding road leads to a fortress on top of the Montagne du Roule (112m). "Roule" is an old word for "grès" (sandstone). The Germans, who had entrenched themselves in the fort, surrendered in June 1944 after fierce resistance.
