Real or Fake: The House Between Two Rocks

So here’s my issue; this house looks completely fake to me. The placement and colors — more like it was staged or photoshopped than a real live oddball home. However, searching around has turned up plenty of websites that say, “Yes, it’s real.” Technically most sites say something akin to, “This is a house in France called Maison dans les Roches (House Between the Rocks) de Plougrescant in the Brittany region” and not much else though.

Here’s a look and if you’ve been there give me the scoop.

Reddit has a funny thread about this house. Although it’s not something I’d normally do here I’m posting it:

Fellow number one: “A very short-sighted place to build. Those are clearly very young rocks, and whatever will happen to the house as they grow?”

Fellow number two: “Rocks don’t grow like plants. These rocks are actually the result of the ground sinking down, due to the erosion of the softer sedimentary rocks forming the ground. The foundation of the house probably blocks this erosion process. So it’s unlikely that the house gets crushed. The house might get flooded though… And also, I wouldn’t say these rocks are young, since their surfaces look fairly polished.”

Fellow number one: “good god man. Humor, do you grok it?!”

I don’t know why but this little banter cracked me up. I like the house but still think it looks unreal. What do you think?
