Donville-les-Bains

Donville-les-Bains (French pronunciation: [dɔ̃vil le bɛ̃]) is a commune in the Manche department, northwestern France.

Donville-les-Bains is located just outside Granville, a port on the Norman coast noted for ferry traffic to the Channel Islands.

Rail service is available from Granville to Paris on a regular basis provided by SNCF, the French National Railway.

The town is also the origin of the English language surname Dunville/Dumville (originally Donville),[citation needed] which is found throughout the UK and former British colonies.

[citation needed] People descended from this Norman line can be found in concentrations around Toronto, Thunder Bay, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and South Carolina.
