Granville
Granville is on the Normandy coast, to the north of Mont-Saint-Michel and south of Coutances.
The town has an accessible and pleasant long beach - perhaps the main reason that people visit Granville - and a harbour, in an attractive location. It's location at the entrance to the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel makes it a popular destination with visitors to the region.
Apart from the buildings that comprise the citadel, the architectural style is best described as 'mixed' - the most interesting buildings are the substantial 19th century townhouses. There are several churches, including the substantial church of Saint-Paul and the attractive church of Notre-Dame-du-Cap-Lihou, also a small and unusual protestant temple.
There is a focus on plants and flowers in Granville - the town is 3* Ville Fleurie, see also the Christian Dior garden and the extensive Val-es-Fleur park and other small parks in the town.
The town also contains various diversions such as a casino, aquarium, and a sprinkling of small museums.
