• Musée Historique de Biarritz, Rue Broquedis
• Conference organized by the Musée Historique de Biarritz, led by art historian Jean Loup Ménochet. - In the first seaside resorts, settlers appropriated space. In this "territory of emptiness", they built a new world in which landscape played a major role. Resorts were first and foremost an expression of the Romantic movement, which took nature as its architectural inspiration, but also an outspoken protest against an urbanized, artificial world. To develop these sites, investors, elected officials, architects and doctors took advantage of the natural landscape to design a new one, sometimes surprising, often flashy ? - This first lecture in a series devoted to the Biarritz landscape explores the "picturesque" architectural movement, little-known and little-regarded by historians, although emblematic of holiday resorts.
