Taking care of yourself is a cornerstone of the hygge philosophy. It starts with a simple beauty routine. To do this, adopt a single product for each need by visiting Ouiziou in Granville with its Kaenbio products (beauty products, organic creams, Norman and Breton brands) or the boutique at the Château de Chanteloup where you’ll find Anthémis “Jardin délicat” and “équilibre botanique” creams, as well as balms made from plants grown in the garden at Château de Chanteloup. Sandra d’Anthémis also offers DIY cosmetics workshops, where you can create your own homemade moisturiser. Organic cosmetics workshops for adults and children are part of the Granville Terre et Mer experience.

Hygge Food
The most important thing about hygge food is to be aware of what you’re eating. Adopt ” comfort food ” with comforting foods that will instantly give you a feeling of warmth and well-being. Enjoy a cup of tea or hot chocolate in one of the local tea rooms: Dame Gourmande, Picorette, Le Temps des Douceurs in Granville. Visit the Un Poil Gourmand shop, with its teas and delicacies, for a convivial moment with friends at home. Have lunch at theAuberge des Casse-croûte in Bréville-sur-Mer in front of a roaring fire. This inn offers menus based on traditional dishes made with seasonal and mostly local produce. Don’t forget to book, as it’s often fully booked.
Doing sport and
relax
You’ve made the most of the light and sunshine of summer. Autumn is here, and it’s the most difficult transition, as winter is fast approaching and the sun is becoming increasingly shy. And yet, it’s the perfect time to take a walk in the Lucerne forest to enjoy the autumn atmosphere, or in the Vallée de l’Oiselière. Here you can find mushrooms or pick chestnuts and pine cones. Try your hand at sport: jogging on the beach or along the dykes, hiking along the GR 223, cycling or mountain biking in the bocage… Relax and recharge your batteries at the Espace Thalasso & Spa Marin Prévithal in Donville-les-Bains, or at the Centre Aquatique Hippocampe in Granville.
Create your own
hygge interior
Like food, design and decoration are essential to the spirit of hygge… It’s important to have a home that’s pleasant to live in. To do this, visit the Malibali Home and l’Envolée boutiques, where you’ll find charming mugs and bowls. You’ll also find a variety of wooden plaids, cushions, rugs and light fittings in the following boutiques: Marie Famille, Album de Famille, La Balise Granville, chez Romy in Granville, as well as Salmanazar in Jullouville and Les Carollaises in Carolles. Hygge favours natural, soft materials. There’s always a blanket, a throw and some cuddly toys on the sofa. Soft light is essential for a hygge atmosphere. Take part inÉmilie Moon’s candle workshop to design the candle that suits you. To round off your winter evenings with friends, pick up some board games at ” La Fourmi ” or ” À ton Tour “. Explore the local bookshops, L’Encre Bleue, Le Détour and La Monaco du Nord, to find the book of the moment.
