Granville

Clinging to its rock facing the English Channel, Granville combines maritime charm, a lively atmosphere and an exceptional heritage. A former cod port, the corsair town has preserved its authentic soul while becoming a must-see seaside destination on the Normandy coast.

Stroll through the walled Upper Town, with its cobbled streets, stone houses and breathtaking sea views. Below, the marina and lively quays reflect the vitality of the town, with its cafés, markets and colorful fishing boats.

Off the coast, let yourself be tempted by an escapade to the Chausey Islands, a wild and enchanting archipelago made up of a myriad of islets. A true natural paradise, accessible by boat from Granville, where the sea retreats to reveal fascinating, ever-changing landscapes.

Every winter, Granville comes alive to the rhythm of its famous Carnival, one of the oldest and most renowned in France. For several days, decorated floats, marching bands, confetti and good cheer fill the streets in an explosion of color and music!

With its festive traditions, maritime heritage and unspoilt nature, Granville is the perfect embodiment of the warm, lively spirit of Normandy.
