The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La villa fut construite en 1898. De type castel, elle offre une façade sur mer en brique avec créneaux, deux tours rondes et des baies cintrées. Son plan carré est appuyé à l'arrière de tours carrées. Les créneaux couronnent la villa sur ses quatre côtés. L'édifice correspond à une tradition historiciste et une typologie de castel anglo-saxon néo-gothique. Ces influences reflètent bien l'éclectisme de l'époque.

History
The villa was built in 1898. Of the castel type, it offers a sea-facing façade in brick with crenellations, two round towers and round-arched openings. Its square plan is supported at the rear by square towers. Crenellations crown the villa on all four sides. The building corresponds to a historicist tradition and a neo-Gothic Anglo-Saxon castel typology. These influences well reflect the eclecticism of the period.
