Come and make

beautiful encounters

Normans are famously indecisive, with their famous “P’t’et’ ben qu’oui, p’t’et ben qu’nan”. Yet many of them have fixed ideas in mind, lifelong passions that they want to share with as many people as possible. Some are artists or creators, others are passionate volunteers or employees. Then there are simply the locals, who live day by day in an environment they cherish and gladly share with visitors. Remembrance, tradition, sharing and transmission are words that take on their full meaning at Destination Granville Terre et Mer.
