EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the British Easter Exodus to Le Touquet in 1925, a popular escape for London's high society during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The image shows a lively scene at the French seaside resort, with renowned boxer Georges Carpentier (1894-1975) mingling among the fashionable crowd. During the interwar period, Le Touquet became a favorite destination for the British elite seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The town's chic atmosphere, elegant hotels, and proximity to Paris made it an irresistible draw. The Easter holidays were a particularly popular time for these excursions, as the weather began to warm up, and the long weekend provided an opportunity for a brief respite. In this photograph, Carpentier, a French boxing champion and a celebrity in his own right, can be seen engaging with the fashionable crowd. He is dressed in a smart suit and hat, blending effortlessly with the well-dressed Londoners. The women in the photograph are adorned in the latest fashion trends of the 1920s, including cloche dresses, drop-waist silhouettes, and feathered headpieces. The men wear dapper suits and straw boaters, reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the era. The lively atmosphere is further emphasized by the presence of jazz musicians in the background, adding to the festive mood. The photograph captures a moment of leisure and enjoyment, as the British elite indulged in the pleasures of the French Riviera before returning to their daily lives.
