Paris.—Etretat, owing to the charm
and variety of its scenery, has ong
been the delight of artists. Their ap-
preciation will be heightened by the
latest addition to its attractions, a
building in the purest style of Nor-
man architecture. It is a quaint ’ hos-
telry” that seems like a relic of tl\e
feudal age, as it has been rebuilt
from materials collected with taste
and infinite paint from ancient edi-
fices that have been demolished dur-
ing recent years n different parts of
the province.
The result is a beautiful and au-
thentic specimen of rustic Norman
art that all lovers of the picturesque
will admire and all connoisseurs will
value. Its recuse tation is the realiza-
tion of sn Idea of Mr. de La Blanche
tais, dlrfctor of be Golf hotels, who
some time ago determined to build,
with materials of well establish ?d au-
thenticity. a genuine old Norman
house. The work has just been fin-
ished and the ‘ hostelry” opened in
connection with Mr. de La Blanchetais’
hotels. Nothing but praise can be
said of the way in which the idea has
been carried ou: by tbs architects
and builders, Messrs. Mauge and
Hamel.
To start with, they had nothing but
the land on which to build the house,
and the idea of copying one of the
