Villa La Prairie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Villa La Prairie is one of the most distinctive productions of French architect Louis Quételart. The villa is located in the golf area of Le Touquet, alongside other villas built in the Twenties and Thirties, of which one was owned by Somerset Maugham and P.G. Wodehouse.
Commonly referred to as La Prairie, the villa, built in 1928, is part of the French heritage inventory (Base Mérimée[1]). It is of both Flemish and Picard influence, and unlike vast villas of that time of Anglo-Normand style, it has proved to embody the quintessential French villa, with large French window, big room sizes, and a living-room big enough to be called a ball room.
