About Plat Gousset Beach
A 900-meter golden sand beach in the heart of Granville, extending from the Casino to Pointe du Lude. The beach features a Belle Époque promenade built from 1859, lined with traditional wooden bathing cabins that have been part of local culture for over 200 years. A natural seawater pool carved into the rocks fills at high tide and offers swimming with a diving platform.

The name "Plat Gousset" (flat pocket) has an ironic origin: it referred to visitors who had lost all their money at the adjacent Casino and came to walk on this free promenade with empty pockets. In the 19th century, while wealthy bathers paid for the Casino's exclusive promenade, those with empty "goussets" (the small pocket for pocket watches) could still enjoy the seaside here for free.
