Résumé anglais Seaside Pleasures (1930-1960) Leisure at the seashore - the perceptions and forms of expression associated with it - significantly changed in the late 1930s. The shore -where the body grew strong thanks to the sun and to contact with air and water, where tourism and vacations for everyone took a material form -became a place propitious to a sensitive, primordial experience of the body and space. Bodily morals and the structure of social relations had less and less say over the meaning of the impressions experienced in this place of contrasts. By studying the shift from a cognitive representation guided by ideas to a discourse giving a special place to sensations and the intensity of experiences, the types of temporary habitat for vacationers can be examined as well as the characteristics of the places of practice where the uses of meanings are literally redistributed.
