Château Deganne, Casino and convention center in Arcachon, France.
Château Deganne is a château housing a casino and convention center in Arcachon that displays Renaissance Revival architectural features. The structure showcases high ceilings, ornate moldings, large windows, and balanced proportions throughout.
The château was built during the 19th century when Arcachon expanded as a seaside resort along the Atlantic coast. It represents the development of entertainment establishments that emerged during this period in French coastal towns.
The château serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors meet for business meetings and social celebrations throughout the year. Its multipurpose halls reflect how the community uses the space for important events and occasions.
The building sits near the waterfront and is easily reached on foot with parking facilities and accessibility services available. Operating hours extend from morning through late evening to accommodate different visitors.
The château combines three distinct functions under one roof: gaming establishment, event venue, and meeting space within a single Renaissance structure. This versatility allows the building to serve different visitor groups simultaneously.

The Bassin d'Arcachon covers 155 square kilometers along the French Atlantic coast and offers numerous subjects for photography. The Dune du Pilat rises 110 meters above sea level and forms the tallest sand dune in Europe. Oyster farming villages such as Gujan-Mestras, L'Herbe, and Le Canon display wooden huts on stilts distributed along the shores. The Cap Ferret peninsula separates the basin from the Atlantic and presents long sandy beaches on both sides. The Cap Ferret lighthouse from 1947 reaches a height of 53 meters. The Île aux Oiseaux sits in the center of the basin and hosts two traditional stilt cabins, the Cabanes Tchanquées, which are surrounded by water at high tide. The town of Arcachon displays 19th-century villas in the Ville d'Hiver, a district with over 300 buildings in Belle Époque style. The Domaine de Certes et Graveyron nature reserve includes former salt marshes and fish ponds now inhabited by herons, spoonbills, and other water birds. The beaches of Pereire and Pyla-sur-Mer provide direct views of the basin and nearby pine forests.
