House Around the Garden / Simon Letondu Architecture
The immediate proximity to the sea is both the main attraction and the worst threat. Storms pull out trees. Winds carry salt, sand, whistles, rains. They tire the inhabitants and the buildings. Depopulated in winter, Saint-Pair-sur-Mer is beset in summer. Cars, screams, and barbecues invade the gardens and streets. The search for the pure horizon is thwarted by a landscape of accumulations.
