      Sculptures by the sea, carved by the clergyman Adolphe Julien Fouéré from 1894 to 1907 in the rocks. In his last years, the clergyman was forced to Rothéneuf he was deaf and dumb in the end and died in 1910. The faces are often important people of his time.

        A very nice discovery that mixes art with nature! An artist who immortalized his works in the rock 🪨

          Before or after the visit a snack, sitting on the terrace of the restaurant, drink.
          Beautiful view. Food would not be cheap.

                A special place indeed, but one that also outlines the transience of human activity: Many of the approximately 300 sculptures by the monk Julien Fouéré are beginning to lose their form and recognisability, water and wind are taking their toll. Entrance fee € 2.50, unfortunately children pay the full price. The neighboring restaurant "Le Benetin" has a great terrace with an enchanting view, but is in the higher price range.

                  Please note the opening times: The sculpture park is closed between 12 and 2 p.m. (at least in the low season?). The entrance fee is currently 5 euros for an adult as of May '24, which I think is a bit much.
