Le Typhonium villa, Egyptian Revival villa in Wissant, France.

Le Typhonium is a brick and cement villa featuring a monumental gate inspired by the entrance of Denderah temple. The structure sits on elevated terraces that overlook the coastal dunes.

The villa was built in 1890 or 1891 by architect Edmond De Vigne for the painters Adrien Demont and Virginie Demont-Breton, who never travelled to Egypt and drew on the Description de l'Égypte. Around 1910-1911 a monumental gate building modelled on the entrance of the Dendera temple complex was added. A fire during the Second World War destroyed the Neo-Flemish wooden interior. The facades and terraces were listed as monuments historiques on 29 November 1985.

The villa's name comes from small Egyptian temples at Dendera and Edfu recorded during Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. The lightning rods are topped with papyrus flowers, and the 1911 relief shows Louis Blériot's aeroplane as the falcon god Horus.

The building can be viewed from the outside, with the terraces and facades being the most visible elements. Its location near the dunes offers easy access to the nearby beach and coastal landscape.

The lightning rods on the villa are topped with papyrus flowers, an Egyptian detail carried up to the roof. In the 1911 relief, Louis Blériot's aeroplane is shown as the falcon god Horus, a nod to the aviator's 1909 cross-Channel flight.
