• Tourism around the villaThe « Villa de Jade », named after our daughter, was built by our grand-grand father, Auguste Pinloche, as a love proof for his wife. They had both visited the wild coast of Taillefer (Belle-île) on their honey moon, in 1911, and had decided to have their villa built on the sea-side. The house was designed by an alsacian family friend architect. This explains the spectacular heigh of the house (3 floors) whereas most houses are small and flat over here.
During the second world war, the german army occupied the Island, and the officiers moved into the villa to turn it into a brothel. When our family came back after the war, all the furniture had vanished, thank to the neighboors.
Since then, the house has turned into a holiday villa where every member of the family has brought his own ideals. Most of the furniture was imported from Indochina (Vietnam), where my grand father worked.
The house is like a ship, whith the sea on three sides of the villa. It is full of memories from foreign countries, mostly England ans Asia.
In 2004, my wife and I have decided to move in with our two children Jade and Ulysses, and to open the house to the public with this bed ans breakfast projet. We try to be the eirs of this ancient house and we are willing to share it with you, with a cup of tea and a piece of "far breton".
After being a journalist, a book editor, a member of a ministre cabinet and a website team manager, I have decided at the age of 35, to become my own employer, and, moreover, to take the time to live, with my own family.
Valerie, my wife, has made the same decision aften ten year of hard labor in school classes teatching history. We have two sweet children, Jade and Ulysses, aged 6 and 1. We like old books and english movies, we like cats and good food, we like jazz and opera music, and we'd really love to chat with you about just everything, in front of the fire.
