EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting seaside town of Granville, located in the Manche department and region of Normandy, north-western France. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the picturesque beachfront that once drew visitors from near and far. The fine, golden sand stretches out before you, dotted with sunbathers and children at play. In the distance, the crystal-clear waters of the English Channel gently lap against the shore. Granville's elegant hotels, including the majestic one seen in the background, were popular destinations for the European elite during this era. Their grandeur is reflected in the photo, with their white facades and red-tiled roofs standing proud against the blue sky. The hotels' proximity to the beach allowed guests to enjoy the best of both worlds – the tranquility of the seaside and the luxuries of a bygone era. As you explore this timeless scene, take a moment to imagine the laughter and joy that filled the air as families built sandcastles, couples strolled along the shore, and children splashed in the waves. The simple pleasures of a day at the beach have remained unchanged, making Granville a cherished destination for travelers seeking a taste of history and relaxation. This evocative image, provided by Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to reconnect with the past and appreciate the enduring beauty of the French coastline.
