| The Cercle was installed on the first floor of Casino Salon, from 1875, until the fire occurred in the casino in 10th August 1903.
"The Casino de Trouville has two circles located on the first floor on the same floor, door to door. They are separated only by a partition. One of these two circles, which remains open only during the fortnight of the Deauville races, is called CERCLE DE L´UNION. It is the chic circle where the Duke of Hatzfeld, the Clermont-Tonerre, the Letellier, etc. are cut. Are admitted - in principle - only the members of the closed circles of Paris and people brought by one or two godparents already part of the circle. Any woman presented by a member of the circle and also admitted. The other circle is called Cercle Trouvillais. There can enter in who wants. The godfathers who are required by the General Surety are provided by the circle itself. "(Le XIX Siecle,11-7.1893).
About the Casino Salon fire.
"The casino has not been completely destroyed, but the flames have made, in a few moments, terrible ravages ... The fire must have taken by a short circuit in the attic gambling parlors located on the first floor, salons of the Cercle of Trouville, the UNION, and the Jockey Club ... "(Le Petit Parisien 8.11.1903). |
