Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, an Atlantic island attached to the continent by a submersible passage (le Gois), has long lived in fishing, agriculture and maritime trade. Bourgeois houses such as Lebreton-des-Grapillères often reflect the economic ease of certain families associated with these activities in the 19th or early 20th century. These buildings, typical of island architecture, served both as housing and sometimes as a place of professional or administrative activity for local notables.
