Le Casino de la Jetée-Promenade

In the history of spa casinos, the Casino de la Jetée-Promenade is a legendary icon of the Belle Époque, a unique Mediterranean symbol of the Niçoise art of living and the spirit of the French Riviera from 1891 to 1942, the year it closed when stripped of its metal before being demolished by the occupying Germans in 1944. This book, lavishly illustrated with largely never-before seen B&W and colour documents, presents this exceptional edifice in five parts that evoke the phenomenon of the casinos (the attraction of gambling, the exotic architecture of the Jetée-Promenade, and more...). A work long-awaited by generations of readers who will finally be able to live – or relive – the glorious era of this legendary place.
