It is the childhood home of Christian Dior. Built at the end of the 19th century, the villa Les Rhumbs owes its name to the marine term designating the thirty-two divisions of the compass rose. This symbol appears in a mosaic adorning the floor of one of the entrances to the house.

Christian Dior's parents acquired this bourgeois house in 1906. Featuring a winter garden, located within a protective park.

Christian Dior particularly likes this place. He wrote in his autobiography “Christian Dior and I”: “the house of my childhood... I keep the most tender and amazed memories of it. What did I say ? my life, my style, owe almost everything to its location and its architecture.”

When in 1932, shortly after the death of Madeleine Dior, the industrial father was ruined by the crisis, the property was put up for sale. Purchased by the town of Granville, its garden was opened to the public in 1938.

In 1997, the villa became the “Christian Dior Museum”, the only museum in France entirely dedicated to a fashion designer.

The gardens are free. Beautiful viewpoint and promenade allowing you to discover the perfumes of the Dior house thanks to olfactory terminals. Entrance to the museum for a fee.

From the beach and the Plat Gousset promenade, climb the steps to access the garden and the villa which houses the Christian Dior Museum. The garden is magnificent.
