The Minimal House STORIES - By the Sea




"The sea, when it casts its spell on us, imprisons us in its net of wonder forever." The quote is from Jacques Cousteau, who inspired us so much and that endlessly plunged into the depths of the oceans. He knew what he was talking about. And this is the phrase that opens the book by Deborah Cracknell, researcher and specialist in environmental psychology, author of the book “By the Sea”. The sea that awaits us. The sea that embraces us. The sea that refreshes us. The sea, this organism with its own life, in constant movement. An irresistible magnet that attracts all of us. Whether on vacation or on the weekend, the important thing is to go close to the sea. The Minimal House is the perfect place to base your discovery of the western beaches. “Walking along the coast or swimming in the sea contributes to our needs for physical activity; going to the beach with family and friends fosters valuable social iterations; spending time in natural environments promotes the formation of positive relationships with nature; watching and listening to the ocean relaxes us and calms our restless minds; seafood consumption provides us with important proteins and nutrients; and drugs based on sea products help to treat a wide range of diseases, ”writes Deborah Cracknell, in her book“ By the Sea ”.
