Villa La Prairie is one of the most distinctive buildings in Le Touquet — a singular work by French architect Louis Quételart that sits on the edge of the pine forest. Built in the early 20th century, the villa blends Norman and Art Deco elements in a way that feels entirely its own. The exterior is the thing: the massing, the interplay of timber and rendered surfaces, and the way it settles into the landscape.
The building is a private residence, so visits are from the street only. It is included on the town's signposted architectural walking circuit and gives a good sense of the ambition that went into Le Touquet's residential development during its golden years.
