House Between Rocks

I'd like to show you this unusual house called Castel Meur, also known as The House Between the Rocks or La Maison de Plougrescant. It was built in 1861. It's nestled between two natural granite pillars on the English Channel coast in Brittany, France.<br />How I'd love to see the interiors as well! Maybe some day the owners might let us take a sneak peek.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifb2dek65YE800_DoI1jeSZ1a583MZA7w2MMpI6pBcICP9P1G1qO5CiGp8JsW-6HO0RKVunqagJY1CebOAv8c6-1_5WuqRMVnVWuAbZqQzpGQwW9l89B7wdjhrecmi-7AalR55yU0ClpOb/s1600-h/la_maison_du_littoral_00.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432569098184523746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifb2dek65YE800_DoI1jeSZ1a583MZA7w2MMpI6pBcICP9P1G1qO5CiGp8JsW-6HO0RKVunqagJY1CebOAv8c6-1_5WuqRMVnVWuAbZqQzpGQwW9l89B7wdjhrecmi-7AalR55yU0ClpOb/s400/la_maison_du_littoral_00.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 398px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkSIwuapk01KSky0_YnHXsAmRofniONIqQJ2HT1JjOxpmIik7YiCQaPYPfrhv1ir_FUXhDmAM-bmc5QQ-pbEmax6_qsqkNncIlQlULk4sau1QFh2jusUl66ucIo2y-cPg9oT6tXDhCYvgE/s1600-h/img_6837cl3nns40_1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432569099797333810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkSIwuapk01KSky0_YnHXsAmRofniONIqQJ2HT1JjOxpmIik7YiCQaPYPfrhv1ir_FUXhDmAM-bmc5QQ-pbEmax6_qsqkNncIlQlULk4sau1QFh2jusUl66ucIo2y-cPg9oT6tXDhCYvgE/s400/img_6837cl3nns40_1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 597px; height: 719px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9GSJ7wysbmkabL02rTp9P3SCx_ZawJ1aYDORCoMafq4DRocc_BQ3SBfXSHVP2q91sHXgSwfwjCKCQ_u3m1P3RlNsv6-3Y5D4krVAzcmG6OePLaZ8q7I4cDBgaBrLyUnMgnfRqo1E5BbO/s1600-h/house-in-the-rocks2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432569107756178674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9GSJ7wysbmkabL02rTp9P3SCx_ZawJ1aYDORCoMafq4DRocc_BQ3SBfXSHVP2q91sHXgSwfwjCKCQ_u3m1P3RlNsv6-3Y5D4krVAzcmG6OePLaZ8q7I4cDBgaBrLyUnMgnfRqo1E5BbO/s400/house-in-the-rocks2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 302px;" /></a><br />Love this black & white photograph.<br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/France/West/Bretagne/Plougrescant/photo1033880.htm">here</a>.
