Casino Barrière de Menton, Art Deco casino in Menton, France.
Casino Barrière de Menton is a gaming establishment in this French coastal town on the Mediterranean, offering gambling and entertainment options. The building displays curved lines and geometric patterns that reflect the architectural principles of the 1930s.
Renowned architect Roger Séassal, winner of the 1913 Grand Prix de Rome, completed the entertainment building in 1934 during the growth of French Riviera tourism. The opening came at a time when the Côte d'Azur was becoming a preferred destination for wealthy Europeans.
The venue combines gaming tables and slot machines with a theater space that hosts performances from classical concerts to contemporary shows. You can use the same location for gambling or to enjoy an evening performance.
The casino is located near the Mediterranean seafront and operates gaming activities until 3 AM. Visitors should wear formal attire and bring valid identification.
The building incorporates design elements from both French and Italian architectural traditions, reflecting its position near the Franco-Italian border. This blend makes it an interesting example of how regional influences shaped the design.

Menton occupies a notable position on the French Riviera, a few kilometers from the Italian border, where the Maritime Alps descend into the Mediterranean Sea. This unique geographical location has shaped a town with a dual character, where French and Italian architectural influences blend naturally. Visitors can explore botanical gardens like Val Rahmeh and Serre de la Madone, religious sites such as the Basilica of Saint Michael Archangel and the Chapel of the White Penitents, as well as museums dedicated to art and local history. The waterfront is organized around the Menton Garavan Port, beaches, and the Promenade du Soleil which runs along the coast. Cultural heritage can be found particularly at the Jean Cocteau Museum Collection Séverin Wunderman, housed in a modern building by the water, and at the Palais Carnolès, a former summer residence of Monaco’s princes transformed into an art museum. The Halles Market offers regional products and local specialties each morning, while the Old Castle Cemetery perched on the heights provides an expansive view of the bay and reflects the city’s history through its 19th-century funerary monuments.
