EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, a charming seaside resort located in the northern coast of France, is depicted in this photograph from the 1910s. The image showcases the unique blend of Swiss-inspired architecture and the entrance to the forest, creating an enchanting and unusual scene. The Swiss Village, a popular attraction in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, is evident in the background with its elaborate and ornate buildings. The gothic-style structures, with their pointed spires and intricate details, transport visitors to another time and place. The village's unusual architecture was inspired by the Swiss Alps and was designed to attract tourists seeking a taste of the Alps by the sea. The entrance to the forest adds an element of mystery and adventure to the scene. The dense foliage and towering trees beckon visitors to explore the natural beauty that lies within. The forest, which covers over 1,000 hectares, is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, wild boar, and foxes, as well as numerous bird species. The history of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage dates back to the 19th century when it was a small fishing village. However, it gained popularity in the early 20th century when the French government decided to develop it as a seaside resort. The town's unique architecture, natural beauty, and proximity to Paris made it a popular destination for Parisians seeking a relaxing getaway. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the essence of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage during its heyday. The Swiss Village and the entrance to the forest are iconic symbols of the town's rich history and continue to attract visitors from around the world to this day.
