Between the golden dunes and the forest of Hardelot stand the ruins of a castle unlike any other...

A 13th-century medieval fortress, a Victorian manor house embedded in its ruins, and an Elizabethan theater renowned for its ecological audacity: Hardelot is an architectural palimpsest where centuries dialogue with one another. Philippe Hurepel designed an innovative octagonal enclosure, the English added a Gothic revival in the 19th century, and the 21st century grafted on a theater made of wood and bamboo, subtly blending into the landscape. From the clatter of war to the precision of contemporary renovations, this place tells the story of both the building and the people. In this episode, we explore Hardelot as a living architecture laboratory, between memory, uses, and reinvention.

Welcome to Hardelot.
