Casino de Villers-sur-Mer, Casino and restaurant in Villers-sur-Mer, France

The Casino de Villers-sur-Mer is a low, broad building facing the sea near the town centre, with a curved central facade of dark-framed glass doors and windows and pale grey panels at each end. A band of brown rectangular tiles runs above the glass, and a rooftop sign reads "CASINO" above "GROUPE TANCREDI". A first-floor balcony railing spans the curved front, and banners advertise roulette anglaise, black-jack, a restaurant and slot machines.

The casino was built in July 1925, and works by the artist Edmond Barbaroux were shown at its inauguration. Dances, gala concerts and ballets performed by opera artists were held there regularly and drew a wealthy, fashionable clientele. The building now belongs to Groupe Tranchant.
