Le Touquet Paris-Plage, France 2003 In 1829 a man named Alphonse Daloz bought the dune lands south of the Canche River, planted an eight hundred hectare forest of pine, pine and beech, and later hosted hunting parties for the country's elite. Hippolyte de Villemessant, founder and publisher of the newspaper Le Figaro, had the idea of ​​building a holiday colony for wealthy Parisian citizens on this site. Daloz and Villemessant called their project Paris-Plage for advertising purposes. A British syndicate took over the further development of Paris-Plage (with luxury hotels and casinos, golf courses, tennis courts and a racecourse) around 1900. Pierre de Coubertin was, among other things, sports director of the municipality for three years. I wish you a nice and peaceful summer break. #parisplage #letouquet #pasdecalais #france #vacances #elger #elgeresser #summerbreak #voyages #coloniedevacances #plage #histoire #elite #memoirecollective #collectivememory #emmanuelmacron #decoubertin #alphonsedaloz #hippolytedevillemessant #canche
