Villa Ker Magdalen ("The Minaret")A story with an Oriental flavour
In 1926, Dr Boyer decided to build a villa named Villa Ker Magdalen in honour of his wife, Madeleine. He had recently treated El Glaoui – the Pasha of Marrakech – so by way of thanks, the Pasha gave him a dozen workers to decorate the interior. This is how the Villa Ker Magdalen came to be adorned with oriental details. At the time, it housed a room decorated with mosaics nicknamed La Chambre du Pacha, and a steam room in the basement.
Architecture where East meets West
The elegant exterior was designed by internationally renowned architect Monsieur Laprade. The gardens are adorned with black and white pebbles from Tréguennec and pink pebbles from Ploumanac’h, which line the pool and fountain. Later, Dr Boyer decided to raise the tower, gaining an uninterrupted view of the coast as far as the Pointe de Trévignon.
