Belle Époque Houses of Mers-les-Bains

Highlight • Historical Site

The seaside district: after the construction of the railway at the end of the 19th century, which connects Mers-Les-Bains to Paris, exclusive tourism from Paris is booming. It was very fashionable at the time to take sea baths. Along the coast, the new seaside district displays all the characteristics of the Belle Époque. Wealthy Parisians and other aristocrats built their second homes there, generally in an Art Nouveau style characterized by metal, wood, or iron balconies and bay windows with rounded shapes, colorful facades, and exuberant ornamentation. The Franco-Dutch architect Eduard Johan Niermans (1859-1928), (born in Enschede, became a French national in 1895), designed several houses in the district between 1899 and 1907. The district still has about 300 villas from that era and was largely designated a remarkable heritage site in 1986. In late July and early August, the Bathers' Festival is celebrated there, with hundreds of people dressed in the fashion of the Belle Époque.
