We enjoyed a lovely honeymoon in Normandy visiting Granville,
Les Roches de Ham, Evreux,
Giverny and Monet's Garden and La Roche-Guyon.
Granville
This lively seaside resort facing The Channel also known as Monaco of the North has
a rocky headland with a broad sandy beach and a promenade lined with white beach
huts.
On the cliff top is the Pink Villa, where fashion designer, Christian Dior grew
up.
It is now a museum with beautiful gardens and a charming
tearoom.
