Morning: the beach at Pointe du Lude
Start at Plage de la Pointe du LudeDogs on a lead, just under a kilometre from the centre on the Donville-les-Bains side. The official rule is dogs welcome on a lead. There is parking 50 m from the beach and a paved walkway to the promenade.
One dog-travel guide lists this beach with limits, usually a summer daytime ban. We do not have exact dates, so in summer check the sign at the entrance and plan an early walk.
If you would rather stretch your legs on a path, the Les chemins du Mont-Saint-Michel - Chemin de Cherbourg - Granville - Saint-Jean-le-ThomasAsk first stage leaves from Granville, with views of Mont-Saint-Michel and a panorama from Granville to Cancale at the Pignon-Butor platform. We have no dog information for it, so check signs along the way.
Lunch in Granville
The centre has several places where Google reviewers mention bringing their dog. None of these is confirmed by the restaurant itself, so ask at the door.
- La BisquineLikely welcome on the fishing port, with pizzas, pasta and fried mussels: 3 Google reviewers mention bringing their dog.
