EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historical charm of Le Touquet, a French resort town in the early 20th century. The image showcases the barns and byres that were transformed into what became known as the first Hermitage Hotel in 1903. This unique accommodation was designed to welcome guests seeking a tranquil retreat amidst the picturesque surroundings. The photo, taken by an anonymous French photographer from the 19th century, is part of a private collection maintained by Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing how these rustic structures were repurposed to provide comfort and hospitality to visitors. Published in a brochure on Le Touquet in 1928, this image highlights both its historical significance and its appeal as a tourist destination during that era. The composition exudes nostalgia for the roaring twenties with its timeless elegance. Le Touquet's transformation from barns to hotel symbolizes France's rich cultural heritage and innovative approach towards tourism development. This snapshot invites viewers to imagine themselves stepping back in time, experiencing firsthand what it would have been like to be one of those fortunate guests at the pioneering Hermitage Hotel. Overall, this photograph serves as a testament to Le Touquet's enduring allure as well as an intriguing window into early 20th-century French culture and architecture.
