Bathing Hour at Boulogne-sur-Mer, Northern France (1918): A Timeless Seaside Tradition This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era at the popular seaside resort of Boulogne-sur-Mer in Northern France during the 1910s. The image, titled 'Bathing Hour at Boulogne-sur-Mer, Northern France,' beautifully portrays the daily ritual of bathing, as holidaymakers donned their swimming costumes and made their way to the shoreline. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Casino, a grand architectural landmark that once stood proudly along the Boulogne-sur-Mer promenade. The Casino, with its intricate details and ornate design, served as a symbol of the resort's opulence and charm. Bathing machines, a common sight at British and French seaside resorts during this period, are prominently featured in the photograph. These horse-drawn huts allowed bathers to change discreetly and enter the sea via a small door at the back, shielding them from prying eyes. The bathers, both men and women, are seen making their way to the machines, their expressions a mix of anticipation and excitement as they prepare to take a dip in the cool, inviting waters of the English Channel. The beach is dotted with swimmers, some wading in the shallows while others venture further out to sea. The sea, with its gentle waves and clear blue waters, beckons to the holidaymakers, promising a refreshing respite from the summer heat. The Hauts de France region, where Boulogne-sur-Mer is located, has long been a favorite destination for tourists seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. This photograph, taken in 1918 by renowned photographer Grenville Collins, offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of bathing at the French seaside resort, a timeless practice that continues to draw visitors to this day.
