A potted history of Le plongeoir
Le Plongeoir dates back to 1862. The name «La Réserve » comes from the fish pond at the foot of the original restaurant.
Initially, it was just a modest wooden pavilion where the locals enjoyed sea food, then in 1876, a real restaurant was built.
Two surprising buidings were then linked together with bridges. A luxourious kiosk and THE “local curiousity” and a concrete fishing boat named «The Inflexible» , built on a rock, 6m above the sea level.
This “curiosity on the sea” attracted tourists and bourgeois from the “Belle Epoque”. They came to have dinner, enjoy a cup of tea or dance.
In 1941, in place of the disappeared ship, the architect René Livieri (1908-1995) built the second « curiosity » of the place: a diving platform (Le Plongeoir).
In an Art Deco style, the impressive building soon became a reference for modern architecture.
As time sailed by, restaurants succeeded one another until the site was finally abandoned. Finaly, erosion by the sea caused it to literally tomber à l’eau.
In 2015, Marc Dussoulier took up the torch, and life came back to this mythical place, beloved by the locals.
