Castel Meur. The Little House In Brittany Built Between A Rock And A Hard Place...

With its back turned to the sea
to protect the tiny house from the violent storms that frequent Plougrescant in France's Brittany area, the Castel Meur or La Maison du Gouffre, the house between the rocks, is home to the granddaughter of the original owner.
The lovely stone house was built in 1861 at a time when people could build where they liked. And now,much to the chagrin of the owner builder's descendent, it's a much too popular tourist destination...

  1. They sure don't have much of view out the sides of the house but the front and rear views sure do make up for that.
