The unnamed resident decided that enough was enough last Thursday after years of a sea-less view in his home in Locquirec in the Finistère department of Brittany. Seemingly without any regard for the town’s priceless heritage the man got hold of a jackhammer and began drilling into the priceless rocks. On Monday the man stopped his demolition after being ordered to do so by authorities.
It turns out this isn’t the first time the man has been caught trying to clear his view. The man had already made an attempt to budge one of the rocks in 2013, before being stopped by Dour ha Douar, an association specializing in the respect and protection of the environment.
Ironically, the association came across the resident in the midst of his renovation work during a guided tour of the town’s natural heritage. By Sunday a sign had appeared saying "Here the destruction of heritage". The rocks, which are formed from an extremely rare type of granite that no longer exists in Brittany, date back more than two billion years.

Well aware that he should not do it..throw the book at him
Ah, but if they wanted a road to go through, it would.
If a large corporation had wanted to build on the rock, it would be ok.
Own a piece of land, cant hurt the rock on that piece of land, become scared to cut the grass.
