Granville

Administrative Port: Manche
County: Basse-Normandie

On land occupied by the Vikings, the city was founded by a vassal of William the Conqueror in the eleventh century, and became later an old pirate fortress and defense of Mont Saint-Michel. In the nineteenth century it became a seaside resort frequented by many artists, equipped with a golf course and a racecourse. The city is homeland of the Dior family, an important family of industrialists , and absorbed in 1962 the village of Saint-Nicolas-près-Granville. The town comprises a port and the Sud-Manche airport and since 1991 the city "Douzelage" was paired with twenty European cities and its one of the few towns in France to have an insular area, Chausey.[1]
