The father of Christian Dior had a house in Granville that he was forced to sell after falling on hard times. The town acquired it and it is now a museum and municipal garden. We didn't go in the house (it was closed at this time of year) but we visited the garden. It's a little town garden, free to visit, open all year, and maintained by the council. There are the ubiquitous plantings of flowering annuals, but also some attractive rose beds and other features that would make the place worth visiting all the year around.
It's right on the clifftop, and you can walk to it via the sea-front promenade, followed by a steep set of steps, or along the suburban road. If I lived in Granville I would take my Sunday papers there to read.
