Opened (1882): The 150-room palace was inaugurated in 1882 after being founded by a trio of Parisian artistic figures—dramatist Maxime Boucheron, and Opera stars Jean Lassalle and Henri Sellier. Designed by the prominent architect Henri Van den Broucke.  
During World War II, the German army requisitioned Hotel L'Ocean and occupied it as part of their coastal defences. The occupying forces fortified the hotel by constructing a blockhaus (bunker) directly on the premises.

Where these toilet blocks are I wonder if they replaced the R600b's that were along here. Some times its known they re-use the foundations.
