LE GUILLIGUY

«C'est debout, sur la pointe du Guilliguy, appuyé sur un dolmen et les yeux fixés sur la mer, qu'il faut aller méditer quand la vie étroite du monde vous blesse ; on devient fort à cet air de l'océan qui vous coule dans la poitrine. On se sent retrempé et vivace».

Ainsi s'exprimait l'écrivain Emile SOUVESTRE.






THE GUILLIGUY

It is upright, on the point of Guilliguy, pressed on a dolmen and the eyes fixed on the sea, which it is necessary to go to meditate when the narrow life of the world wounds you; one becomes strong with this air of the ocean which runs you in the chest. One feels retempered and long-lived”.

Thus the writer Emile SOUVESTRE expressed itself.
