Villa Le Cercle
This graceful building was built during the Belle Epoque for a very select club whose members were recruited from the great Parisian circles and the milieu of stable owners. It was then a lively place, animated by receptions where the whole of Paris and visiting celebrities gathered. The Cercle accompanied the birth of the city, which emerged from the sands in 1860, barely thirteen years before the construction of this building.
The Cercle is characteristic of Napoleon III architecture with :
- A flat roof terrace,
- Large bay windows interspersed with colonnades
- A rotunda in a circular arc
- Openings surmounted by niches decorated with terracotta busts.
The construction is made of red bricks from the Croix Sonnet brick factory and yellow bricks from the Touques brick factory, materials that were also used for the construction of the Saint Augustin Church.
Like 555 villas in Deauville, the Cercle is listed in the architectural, urban and landscape heritage protection zone created in March 2005. After a total renovation, the building has now been restored to its original appearance. It welcomes public and private events 11 months of the year.
