Peasant and maritime, a society has developed on this piece of land isolated from the continent by a formidable belt of reefs and currents: a society of women, left alone for agricultural work, and the construction of houses while men navigated the long course... 55,000 plots of land testify to their ability to survive here. The austerity of architecture in this treeless country hides illuminated interiors of bright colors, decorated like sanctuaries. The traditional architecture in Ouessant has taken into account the very special characteristics of life on this island. The houses conserved at Niou Starling bear witness to the originality of a society focused both on the sea, the domain of men, and on the cultivation of the soil, the domain of women. The interior design of the house, with its painted furniture, seems to take root in the organization of space on boats. The domestic space here preserved in its environment serves as a setting for an evocation of life on the Island of Oues
