My Life in Paris and Travels Around France
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the second Dîner Cousu-Main in the garden at Musée Christian Dior in Granville. The dinner at La Bonne Aventure together with Mauviel 1830 featured Granville-native Chef Alex Néel and a meal inspired by both Christian Dior’s La Cuisine Cousu-Main cookbook and local products.
No trip to La Manche in Normandy would be complete without a stop in Granville, the Monaco du Nord. It’s a perfect Normandy beach town with plenty to see from the port to the picturesque seaside streets, shops, and restaurants, Musée Christian Dior and more. One thing I absolutely wouldn’t miss is a walk around La Haute Ville, the upper city of Granville.
As much as I love living in Paris, it’s nice to get out of the city for a weekend. There are so many wonderful places to visit in France, but I especially enjoy hopping in the car and being by the ocean within four hours. One of my new favorite weekend escapes is Carolles in Normandy and neighboring town Granville (home of the Musée Christian Dior).
