It Almost Looks Like A Made Up Picture,

but this must be one of the few houses,


built between giant rocks to have such a beautiful view of the sea, it is in fact CastelMeur, also known as La Maison du Gouffre or 'the house between the rocks' in the quiet little village of Plougrescant, located in the department of Côtes-d'Armor in the region of Brittany, in France and has been there since the 19th century,


the house was built in 1861, at a time when building permits did not exist, where anyone could build at will, the original owner built the house with it’s back to the sea, a safeguard against fierce winter storms, after the death of her original owner, Castel Meur served as the second home to the descendant's family who lived here sporadically, the current occupant, the granddaughter of the first master of the house, has lived here since 2004 after selling her business in America and returning back to her land, what a fabulous get away from it all home.
