Ruins of a Breton House
The stone walls of a former valley house reappear when the Guerlédan reservoir is drained. Built of slate and granite, such dwellings were abandoned as the dam (1923–30) flooded farmland and villages. Today these ruins stand as ghostly reminders of communities displaced by hydroelectric progress, where rural Brittany yielded to modern industry yet left its memory in stone.
