Château Boulart, a private residence in Biarritz rises to a height of sixty-three meters above sea level. Designed in the eclectic style that prevailed in the last quarter of the 19th century by the architect Joseph Louis Duc, it retains today all the architectural characteristics and the major decorative elements of the original build. The construction of the Villa was decided by Charles Boulart who bought in 1872 a plot of land of five hectares on the site of Biarritz.
In 1930, Château Boulart was occupied by the Notre-Dame de Sion institution, which opened a girls' college there (My Mom went there), then a girls' boarding school (with development and raising of the old gymnasium which would improperly become "Villa" Sion) , then a mixed college, until its sale in 1974. Little by little the domain which occupied five hectares was divided up and sold in lots, and the park was considerably reduced. Château Boulart was acquired by Pierre and Brigitte Delalonde at the end of 2015.
