Is Granville worth a visit?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, Granville is well worth a visit. Nicknamed the“Monaco of the North<\/strong>“, it’s an elegant seaside resort<\/strong> in Normandy. The views from the Upper Town and its ramparts are superb, especially with the changing light over the English Channel<\/strong>. You’re assured of splendid photos.<\/p>\n\n

The museum is housed in the famous couturier’s birthplace, Villa Les Rhumbs<\/strong>. Depending on the program, you can see exhibitions<\/strong> on fashion<\/strong> or the perfumes<\/strong> of the House of Dior. We loved the garden overlooking the sea<\/strong>. The outdoor-only restaurant<\/strong> La Rose du Rocher<\/strong> is the perfect place to linger a while in this elegant setting.<\/p>\n\n
