Castel Meur by Jolejo


My Facebook page My Facebook Account InstagramCastel Meur is the name of this amazing house. She turns her back to the sea since 1861, the year of its construction, for protection from violent winds during storms, frequent at this place. This tiny dwelling was erected at a time when the building permit did not exist, where everyone could build at will and give free rein to his imagination. It was necessary also to have an immoderate love for the sea and its whims to live in such a place, especially in winter. Its builder was of that caliber here and will live many years, digging his hands almost entirely of the moor to arrange two ponds there. His heirs will occupy only occasionally, the weather is nice. It will be a second home for decades, appearing sometimes abandoned because open only once every two or three years since the late 20th century. The current occupant, indeed, granddaughter of the first master of the house Tréguier leave where she was born, to go make his fortune in America. After selling his business, she returned to settle here in 2004. Meanwhile, local officials, keen to develop the surf coastal tourism, will have captured the image of Castel Meur to become the emblem of the Pointe de Plougrescant ... She will tour the world, generating enthusiasm as she was no longer seen by the casual visitor as private property, but as a site open to all the sights. The casually go at its height a beautiful summer day when a Japanese tourist coach will have the bad idea to stop there: its passengers wanting an original souvenir at any price will go up to climb onto the roof of the house to photographed it! The damage they have caused to push the owner to protect his property. in French : Castel Meur est le nom de cette maison surprenante. Elle tourne le dos à la mer depuis 1861, année de sa construction, pour se protéger des vents violents qui soufflent lors des tempêtes, fréquentes à cet endroit. Cette demeure minuscule fut érigée à une époque où les permis de bâtir n'existaient pas, où chacun pouvait construire à sa guise et laisser libre cours à sa fantaisie. Il fallait par ailleurs avoir un amour immodéré pour la mer et ses caprices pour vivre en un tel endroit, surtout en hiver. Son bâtisseur était de cette trempe et vivra ici de nombreuses années, creusant presqu'entièrement de ses mains la lande pour y aménager deux étangs. Ses héritiers ne l'occuperont qu'épisodiquement, les jours de beau temps. Elle sera une résidence secondaire pendant plusieurs décennies, paraissant même parfois abandonnée car ouverte seulement une fois tous les deux ou trois ans depuis la fin du 20ème siècle. L'occupante actuelle, en effet, petite-fille du premier maître des lieux quittera Tréguier où elle était née, pour aller faire fortune en Amérique. Après avoir cédé son affaire, elle revint s'installer ici en 2004. Entretemps, les édiles locaux, soucieux de développer la vague déferlante du tourisme côtier, se seront emparés de l'image de Castel Meur pour en faire l'emblème de la Pointe de Plougrescant ... Elle fera le tour du monde, générant un engouement tel qu'elle n'était plus considérée par le visiteur de passage comme une propriété privée mais comme un site ouvert à toutes les curiosités. La désinvolture ira à son comble un beau jour d'été où un autocar de touristes japonais aura la mauvaise idée de s'arrêter là : ses passagers voulant à tout prix un souvenir original iront jusqu'à grimper sur le toit de la maisonnette afin de s'y faire photographier ! Les dégâts qu'ils auront occasionné pousseront la propriétaire à protéger son bien. via 500px http://ift.tt/1zCfIGC
