The house between the rocks is a former guardhouse of the Vauban defense system. It consists of just one room, which has a stone vault and a fireplace. Apart from the impressive and particularly photogenic view from the lake side, both access routes are worth seeing: the open access route leads past a "face rock", the other access route is a natural rock tunnel. Behind the house is a village that has been rebuilt as an open-air museum and is freely accessible. There you can find out about village life in times gone by and there is also a nice bistro.

Beyond the Horizon

The "house between the rocks" at Ménez Ham tells the story of a time long gone. Once built as a guardhouse for Vauban's defense system, it now sits quietly between massive granite blocks that protect it from the wild elements of the coast. The stone space inside is simple but impressive: a vault and an old fireplace that convey the atmosphere of former life in this harsh region.

The path to the house is a small experience in itself. One of the entrances leads past a striking "face rock", the natural shape of which never fails to stimulate the imagination of visitors. The other entrance, a natural rock tunnel, lets you immerse yourself in the mysterious world of this coastal landscape. Behind the house is a small open-air museum that provides insights into village life in times gone by. Here, in the middle of nature, you can stroll in peace, enjoy the view and take a short break in the adjacent bistro. A place that is worth a visit not only for photographers, but for anyone looking for something special in simplicity.

Beautiful stretches of coast, though more touristy than other places in Brittany. Still a great hike!
