Casino de Trouville-sur-Mer, Gaming and entertainment complex in Trouville-sur-Mer, France.
The Casino de Trouville-sur-Mer is a 6,500 m² stone building with a pale grey facade and a dark slate roof, topped by a central dome and two smaller corner domes. Large white letters spelling "CASINO" span the front above the central entrance, and a terrace runs along the central part below the roof. It occupies an island formed by boulevard de la Cahotte, quai Albert-Ier and place Foch, at the edge of the harbour.
A first casino was built in 1847, hosting balls, operettas and plays for a wealthy clientele. The current building, designed by Alexandre Durville, opened on 29 June 1912, only fifteen months after construction began. In 1927 Georges Wybo added two large gaming rooms and a central porch facing the sea. It was listed as a monument historique in 2016.
The building shapes the character of the harbor quarter, drawing locals and visitors to gather in this central spot between water and shore. Its position connects the port life with beach culture in a single location.
The casino occupies the block bounded by boulevard de la Cahotte, quai Albert-Ier and place Foch, between the Touques quays and the Planches promenade.
