Once you come to Trouville, you instantly feel like in a film by Claude Lelouch or the works by Francoise Sagan. This place is romantic and a little bit vicious: a fresh wind with grains of salt and white dots of yachts in the English Channel, kissing seagulls, and the soul-stirring coin sounds in the casino. All the people tired of the busy city life can come to this resort town two hours away from Paris and find entertainment to suit their taste and budget.
Trouville had been an ordinary fishing village until the 40s of the 19th century when European doctors attributed the most healing properties to sea bathing, setting a trend. Since then, the resort has been expanded with luxury villas, hotels, promenades, beaches, restaurants, and casinos.
In 1912, the town was adorned by a luxurious building in the colonial style with the Empire and Rococo elements. If you have never been to a casino, the local "gambling Mecca" is the best place for your first visit. This is not Las Vegas or Monte Carlo, there are no bright neon lights and hardcore gamblers who bet their last money on zero. The vibe of the Casino of Trouville is similar to the one of the city cultural center (there was even a municipal museum once), open to everyone over 18 and with an ID card. The gambling area itself is small: roulette and poker tables, a couple of rows of slot machines like "one-armed bandit". Gaming chips are sold not by the dealer but by the box office, like at a funfair (sometimes you have to stand in line). The dress code is quite democratic. You can wear everything, except shorts, swimsuits, and tracksuits. The casino building houses the city theater and several cafes and restaurants.
Many people prefer to buy "complex tickets". The price for this certificate is fixed, it includes a lunch in a cafe, a glass of champagne at the gaming table, and several roulette chips. So it is more likely that visitors will resist the desire to gamble non-stop, which can overtake them.
