Greville-Hague village in Normandy

Greville-Hague is a small village located in the department of Manche, in Normandy. It is situated on a small hill, near the banks of the river Seine. The village dates back to the Middle Ages and is surrounded by fields, woods, and meadows.

We spent an hour there walking round the village.There is a bar/restaurant that also served petrol and a bread shop.Like most French villages they have an old church Eglise de Greville Hague.The village was the birthplace of Jean-Francois Millet, a notable impressionist painter.After our walk round we called in the Boulangerie to get a sandwich and 2 cakes to go with our coffee. Then it was back to the hotel in Cherbourg

The village has several landmarks that are worth exploring. The most important monument is the Château de Greville-Hague, a spectacular castle that dates back to the 17th century.
