Library, Chateau de Hardelot, Condette, Pas-de-Calais

Bust of Francois I in a niche decorated with fleurs de lys, portrait of Alexandre Ernest Coquelin, French actor, 1848-1909, by Alfred Roll, 1846-1919, and 19th century furniture, in the Library, in the Chateau de Hardelot, originally the site of a 12th century castle, rebuilt over the centuries and finally redeveloped in the 19th century, in Condette, Pas-de-Calais, France. The current building dates from 1865-72, when its owner, Henry Guy, rebuilt the chateau in Neo-Tudor style. Since 2009 the building has housed the Centre Culturel de l'Entente Cordiale, with an arts programme involving France and Britain. It is situated within the Reserve Naturelle Regionale du Marais de Condette, a protected marshland area. Picture by Manuel Cohen
