Village House #PhotoSunday
Walking around our French village (where we live part of the year) and the region of Brittany, we are often amazed at the large stones and boulders that seem to rise out of the ground and can be found in the strangest places.
This photo taken in our village shows a house built around a large boulder and we often wonder about it and love to show our guests this house on our walks around the village and nearby farm lanes. I guess before cranes and jack hammers you just built around huge boulders and called it home. I wonder whether part of the boulder forms an internal wall, maybe with narrow shelves carved into the surface of the boulder within the house.
I cannot wonder though why the builder did not choose to build the house even two metres further to the left or right.
The old curtains show the house has been lived in fairly recently although there isn’t anyone permanently living there now. I’m sure the house is not inhabitable by French standards and would need to be restored.
