Be Fashionable In Granville
Granville, just down the coast from Gouville-sue-Mer, is known as the Monaco of the north. It is a delightful, bustling port and was the first shellfish port of France. On the outskirts of Granville is the old home of Christian Dior, open daily from 8th April until the 24th September. It is easy to while away a whole day in the elegant surroundings, maybe even pinching some ideas for the decor of your home in Manche.
There is the house to visit, an exhibition, the garden and a shop and when you have done all of that you can enjoy afternoon tea from the comfort of sitting on the terrace whilst overlooking the sea. The house was bought by Christian Dior’s parents in 1906 and it is where he grew up and we can perhaps assume that the influence of this pink house, with its wonderful rose gardens and views of the sea, gave the young Christian his taste for elegance which he later translated into those fabulous clothes.
We have a lovely selection of properties for sale in Manche.
