Granville is a coastal commune in the Normandy region of northwestern France. Known as the "Monaco of the North," this fortified port town sits dramatically on a rocky promontory overlooking the English Channel.

The town has a rich maritime history dating back to the Middle Ages and was historically significant for both fishing and corsair activities. The upper town, enclosed by ramparts, features well-preserved historical architecture and narrow streets that reflect its medieval past.

Granville's cultural heritage is deeply connected to the sea, with a strong fishing tradition that continues today. The town is also notable as the birthplace of Christian Dior, and his childhood home has been transformed into a museum. The local culture encompasses both maritime traditions and artistic influences, with several museums and cultural venues highlighting the town's heritage. Throughout the year, Granville hosts various cultural events, including the famous Carnival, one of the oldest in France, which takes place in February.
