Designed in the English Norman style, the architects were Paul Furiet and Georges Henry Pingusson.

The racecourse is listed by Monuments Historiques, with one façade facing the gardens, the other facing the courses. The Palais de l’Europe and the Tourist Office are at the entrance to the town and are built on the site of the castle which belonged to the notary, Daloz, who originally purchased the land on which the town is built in 1837. It acquired a casino, a golf course, a hippodrome and tennis courts. In the early days, however, Le Touquet was virtually deserted in the winter and it was only when John Whitley and Allen Stoneham decided to base the resort on sports, that Le Touquet finally grew up. It was in 1874, however, that it occurred to Villemessant who owned the newspaper ‘Le Figaro’, that this could be the perfect situation for a seaside resort and the first villas were built in 1882. This was the beginning of Le Touquet Paris– Plage. After many attempts, Alphonse Daloz planted a pine forest in 1855 and in 1852, two lighthouses arrived, providing employment for six families of lighthouse keepers. It was bought in 1837 by two Frenchmen, Alphonse Daloz and Alyon, who tried to make it profitable, initially with a distillery and a potato industry.

In 1819, the state put up for sale 1,600 hectares of land.
