The carved rocks of Rothéneuf are monumental sculptures made directly in the granite of the cliff. They were created between 1894 and early 1907 by Father Adolphe Julien Fouéré, known as Father Fouré (1839-1910).

After a stroke, priest Adolphe-Julien Fouéré alias "Abbé Fouré" carved in rocks for 25 years (from 1870) the story of the terrible Rothéneuf family, a motley crew of privateers, smugglers and beach robbers, who misled ships so that they were wrecked were running and the cargo could be seized. Eventually, nearly 300 figures would be immortalized in the granite. Enjoy this amazing example of Breton "art brut".
