Hardelot's story highlights certainty: This little pearl on the Côte d'Opal is undoubtedly dedicated to providing fun. At the end of the Middle Ages, the castle of Hardelot was already the summer residence of the counts of Boulogne. They lived there in a princely way, surrounded by a court as bright as that of France.Hardelot forest was their hunting territory. Much more recently, at the beginning of the th century, John Whitley decided to make it a tourist resort. It transformed the surrounding meadows into golf courses, in cricket fields. He quickly realized the interest of holidaymakers for the sea. Through the Société du Domaine d'Hardelot, it then provides the station of a dike and tennis courts near the beach. Little by little, many villas were built in the dunes. What is the situation today? Unfortunately, the ravages of World War II saved only eight villas. But the station was able to find a new impetus, including the reopening of golf, the creation of the equestrian club and a little later, the reconstruction of the seaside, the creation of sports equipment, restaurants and shops.
