Two billion year old rocks damaged for the view

 Rocks in Brittany which are said to be two billion years old have been partially destroyed by a man who wanted a sea view.
Between last Thursday and Saturday, people in the port could hear the sound of a pneumatic drill, reported Ouest-France. At the weekend, walkers then found that the man had illegally drilled a huge hole in the top of one of the rocks. 
He had been granted permission to complete some work on his house but had been warned not to touch the protected rocks.
What a selfish act and fortunately planning permission has now been withdrawn and a file placed with the public prosecutor. Sadly nothing will bring the damaged rock back.
