Maison rose

Maison rose is a two-story residence with symmetrical wings and nineteen window and door openings, topped with a slate roof at the entrance to Vannes river. The structure sits within a large wooded park near Port-Anna.

The residence was built in 1879 for oyster farmer Mathurin Juteau from Vannes, with a quay added in 1880 and a slipway constructed in 1897. This maritime infrastructure reflects the region's oyster farming economy during the 19th century.

The pink facade serves as a navigation reference for boats entering Vannes port, as noted in maritime instructions for the area. This visible feature remains part of local seafaring practice today.

The residence is privately owned and offers clear views over the channel connecting Vannes bay to Morbihan Gulf. The property with its wooded grounds is best viewed from the water or nearby waterside paths.

The pink color of the facade is protected by maritime regulations because it serves as an official navigation point for vessels in Morbihan bay. This feature merges architecture with practical seafaring function.
