Granville

The Haute-Ville or Vieille Ville is the heart of the historical city centre of Granville. Have a stroll around in the narrow streets, enjoy the peace and quiet and the authenticity of this preserved site facing the sea from the north to the south and from the east to the west.

Enjoy the exceptional heritage:

• The Notre-Dame du Cap Linou church where Christian Dior was christened.
• The 'Vieux Granville' museum
• The Modern art museum of Richard Anacréo

Discover the history, the heritage and the maritime past of Granville, via four theme guided tours.

• The 'Granville balnéaire', the most beautiful views
• The 'A l'abordage les enfants' a guided tour for children
• The 'Granville maritime et portuaire' on harbour and sea theme
• The night tour of Christian Dior's garden

A warm welcome to tourists, parents and children in the Notre-Dame church where Christian Dior was christened.

Build in the 13th and 17th centuries inside the Haute-Ville city walls and listed as a historical monument at Lucien Dior's request. The stained glass windows were made by Jacques Le Chevallier.

Granville is located near the protected site of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, the cliff, the Haute-Ville and the Chausey islands.

The Chausey islands were suggested to enter the Natura 2000 network, however the Conservatoire du Littoral got the 'Pointe du Phare' instead.
