Sometimes called the “Monaco of the North,” Granville stands proudly on a rocky promontory overlooking the English Channel. Known since the 19th century as a seaside resort popular with artists, it also boasts a rich historical past. Founded in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, on land once occupied by the Vikings, the corsair town long played a strategic role as a fortress protecting Mont Saint-Michel.
