What to See and Do in Granville

This small archipelago in the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel is attached to Granville. It's a holiday destination, excursion spot, sailing hub, and fishing area that draws huge crowds in summer and almost no one in winter.

Old Town ★★
The most "charming" part of Granville, built in granite, with its narrow streets overlooking the sea along the peninsula and the panoramic views that come with it.

Beaches of Granville ★★
The town has around forty kilometres of rugged coastline and some rather pretty beaches.
