Shellfish and sanitary status: Gathering for your own use is allowed within national sizes and the Manche limits. ARS Normandie tests the gathering sites and the prefecture announces bans, so check both first.
Rules and safety
National sizes apply, plus the limits and bans of the Manche prefecture. After heavy rain the water near town can be contaminated, so skip gathering. Your catch must not be sold.
About the place
Granville sits on a rocky headland with very large tides. At low tide, rocks with pools uncover below Pointe du Roc and along the beaches. Ferries to the Chausey islands leave from here.
