Beautiful ruin of a manoir with a very sad story behind it of a French poet. Great views. Parking nearby. History: Paul-Pierre Roux, called Saint-Pol-Roux born 15 January 1861, quartier de Saint-Henry, Marseille - died 18 October 1940, Brest) was a French Symbolist poet. He wanted a house overlooking the ocean, above the beach, on the road to point de Pen Hir, and transformed it into a manor in the Baroque style. He named it the 'Manoir de Coecilian', after his son's name, or sometimes 'Manoir des Boultous'. He wrote the poem "Facing the sea, man is closer to God" while in his manoir. He welcomed several artists and writers, notably Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who looked up to him as an ancestor, and even Jean Moulin. During the night of 22 to 23 June 1940, a drunken German soldier invaded the manor, killed the family's faithful governess, raped Saint-Pol-Roux's daughter Divine, and seriously injured her in the leg with a revolver bullet. Saint-Pol-Roux miraculously escaped death in the incident, but was later taken to hospital in Brest on October 14, where he died of a broken heart when he heard that the manor had burned down with his unpublished manuscripts inside.

Wenn man die Ruinen des ehemaligen prachtvollen Gebäudes sieht, kann man sich denken, was der Erbauer an diesem Platz für eine tolle Aussicht auf den darunter liegenden Strand von PEN HAT und die vorgelagerte Halbinsel hatte. Ich selbst war jetzt in drei aufeinander folgenden Jahren hier und bin von der Aussicht hier immer noch überwältigt. Die hier zu sehenden Sonnenuntergänge bieten jeden Tag ein anderes Himmelsspektakel . Schade dass dieses schöne Gebäude im WW2 zerstört wurde.

We did a short stop to spot this location. The view to the beach and the sea is amazing. Geocaching is also possible here. And you have a great hiking option.

Les ruines du manoir de cet inspirant poète sont accessibles depuis le parking de la pointe du Toulinguet ou depuis le parking d'un petit musée mémorial qui se trouve le long de la côte

On ne peut actuellement plus passer au milieu des ruines pour raison de sécurité mais on peut circuler autour des ruines. Le site est sécurisé.

Ce manoir qui a reçu entre autres le fameux écrivain surréaliste André Breton se trouve en une localisation offrant vraiment une époustouflante vue. En se positionnant face à la mer, avec les ruines du manoir devant, on imagine la vue et comment cela a pu l'inspirer à se sentir trouver la "vérité du monde" en ce lieu.

Un alignement de pierres se trouve un peu avant l'arrivée à la pointe du Toulinguet et un sentier sur hauteur de falaises permet depuis le parking de longer la côte et de traverser les nombreux vestiges de bunkers, jusqu'à un tout petit musée mémorial exposant devant d'impressionnantes ancres, musée petit mais pouvant intéresser certains (4€ pour adulte, gratuit pour enfant et étudiant)

Un parking se trouve devant le musée ou au niveau de la pointe du Toulinguet, d'où l'on peut faire une balade aussi dans l'autre sens, vers la pointe (vers la base militaire) pour profiter d'une belle vue avec la mer des deux côtés. Une plage en contre bas, interdite de baignade pour raison de baïnes, courant de fond pouvant être très dangereux. Certains s'y baignent mais la plage n'est pas surveillée et...

Je ne connaissais pas ce lieu, mais ces ruines exsudait une douleur, une angoisse, un bonheur perdu, une tragédie qui m'ont serré le ❤️.. C'est la raison pour laquelle, après quelques recherches chez les libraires, j'ai choisi de publier les photos de ce bonheur perdu, avant que la tragédie ne frappe la famille de Saint- Pol-Roux, le marseillais devenu breton, l'écrivain magnifique, le poète inspiré... Paul Eluard, Max Jacob, Jean Cocteau, Jean Giono, Aragon, Victor Ségalen, André Breton... ont tous affirmé et reconnu l'importance majeure de Saint-Pol-Roux pour la littérature française du XXe siècle. La guerre mutila le fruit de décennies d'écriture. Si vous passez par Camaret, ou bien Crozon les libraires vous fourniront des réeditions de ses œuvres, en vers et en prose, et vous ferez connaissance avec la vie et l'œuvre de cet humaniste, simple, généreux, et...
