| In 1892 the bath cabins in the beach were rebuilt and built an L'OTRADA buvette. According to a Guide of 1900, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon all the select Royan come to exhibit their toilettes and snobism in L'Otrada, a kind of cafe- restaurant built in wood, where there were the most diversions as well gambling, as one can play to the Petits Chevaux.
On 11 September L'Otrada is destroyed by a fire and is built in the same place in 1902 LA RESTAURATION, a bar, restaurant , with gambling, where also were played the Petits Chevaux, as well roulette. The building, installed on pillars, was the subject of a contest of ideas and built in just a few months. It was a high-class building, elegant cafe-restaurant and corresponded to the need to satisfy a demanding clientele. It had a gambling room with Petits Chevaux, restaurant, private lounges, kitchen, offices, etc. It had a glazed balcony with good views of the sea. The Restauration will work until the early 30's.
In 1931 opens on the premises the Sporting Club Casino, an Art Deco building on pillars, facing directly to the sea. With a select environment with dancing, cinema and gambling room -boule and baccarat. During World War II, it housed the house of the German soldiers. After 1986 it is owned by the Groupe Barriere and started to be desgnated as Casino de Royan. |
