The Bathing Hour at Boulogne-sur-mer, France: A Timeless Tradition of Coastal Leisure This photograph, titled 'The Bathing Hour at Boulogne-sur-mer, France,' transports us back in time to an era of leisurely coastal escapes and the simple pleasure of a dip in the sea. The image, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases a group of intrepid lady swimmers as they strike out from the coastline. Dressed in their striped bathing costumes, the women display a sense of determination and excitement as they prepare to enter the inviting waters. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of the attractive bathing machines, both parked in the shallows and on the sandy beach. These wooden huts, with their distinctive striped exteriors, served as changing rooms and shelters for swimmers during the bathing hour. The bathing machines allowed for a degree of privacy and modesty, as well as protection from the elements, making the experience of swimming in the sea more accessible and enjoyable for many. Boulogne-sur-mer, located on the northern coast of France, has a rich history as a popular seaside resort. The town's picturesque coastline and mild climate attracted visitors from all walks of life, seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The Bathing Hour at Boulogne-sur-mer captured in this photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the sea and the timeless tradition of coastal leisure.
