My Saturday Snapshots this week are some holiday photos from our holiday in Brittany way back in 1988. We had quite an eventful beginning to our holiday because soon after we landed our car broke down and my French was immediately tested trying to say ‘the accelerator cable has broken’.
After a wait of two hours it was mended and we eventually got to our camp site at Ploumanach, near Perros Guirec on La Cote de Granit Rose, the Pink Granite Coast. The coast with its amazing rock formations was a few minutes walk from our caravan.
Just a few miles along the coast is Le Gouffre, or ‘abyss’, a place where the waves crash against a gap in the cliffs.
And near by is this amazing house wedged between huge granite boulders
It was built in 1861.

That house is truly amazing! Not sure I’d want to live there. Claustrophobic seeming? LOL

What a way to start a trip! That stone house is wonderful. I’t looks so cozy all nestled in between those rocks.

That house between boulders is neat! I would bet that it stays warm with the shelter of the rocks on either side. As for communicating in French, the best I could do is say it with a bad fake French accent. :) That must have been intimidating.

That looks like a great part of France, we’ve only been to Normandy and Picardie. I love the look of that house, I wouldn’t mind living in it anyway, it looks nice and safe somehow.

What a great series of photos. I love that old cottage too. Wow, you’d have to be a hardy sort of person to want to live there! Almost like a lighthouse.
