Comment

In 1927, Franck Jay Goul, an American billionaire who had made his fortune in the railroads and already owned the Grand Hôtel opposite, decided to commission architect Auguste Bluysen to build a second Casino in Bagnoles-de-L'Orne. Today, this building, with its beautiful Art Deco facades, is one of the resort's main attractions.
