LE PARC EQUESTRE DU TOUQUET
Hippodrome built in 1925 by the Parisian architects Furiet and Pingusson in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage.
As the first means of locomotion to get to Le Touquet from Paris, the horse has always enjoyed a special place in the rich life of the resort. The racecourse, built in 1925 by the Parisian architects Furiet and Pingusson, was equipped with Anglo-Norman-style grandstands, classified as a historical monument in 1997. The installation was completed in the 1980s with the creation of an equestrian centre in a park that has become a great asset to the resort. The centre was an advanced base for the London Olympics in 2011. Numerous competitions take place there each year, including a major polo tournament in April and a three-star show jumping competition in May.
