Climb this rocky spur, formerly called Cap Lihou and located at the northern end of Granville, where the upper town was built in the 15th century.
Your reward: an exceptional panoramic view of the Channel Islands, the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel and the Chausey Islands, offshore.
The Pointe du Roc is also a place of remembrance, with among others the Roc battery, built by the Germans to close access to the port of Granville during the Second World War.
With its elegant villas along the beach and its emblematic casino, Le Plat Gousset embodies the charm of the Belle Époque.

Here, the fauna and flora are protected: you can observe the 200 species of birds that frequent the archipelago, but also dolphins and gray seals!
