IT’S NAME WAS MADYVONNE…
Haec Otia was built in 1926 by the French architect in the Neo-English and Art Deco style, Arsène Bical, for a Parisian woman and called it MADYVONNE.
The second proprietary of our charming house of the Côte d’Opale, the Viscount Van de Vyvere, secretary of the king of the Belgians under Albert I, could deliver you a lot of historic secrets.
When the viscount bought the house, he changed its name in “HAEC OTIA”.
He loved to come in Le Touquet, read the Latin, relax, with his family and friends. He liked passing good times in this house, reason for which he seted in stone of the luxurious fireplace of the lounge this registration in Latin : « DEUS NOBIS HAEC OTIA FECIT », God has given us these days of leisure.
