The famous Belle Époque casino, opened in 1863, with gilded gaming rooms and an opera house designed by Charles Garnier, architect of the Paris Opera. In the morning, the casino is open for visits without gambling.


In the evening, gaming rooms require a smart dress code and ID; over-18s only. The Café de Paris and the gardens in front are good for people-watching. The Grand Prix circuit passes in front.
