Casino Barrière

The Casino Barrière is located just at the waterfront, so it allows for some amazing views of the ocean. It does not only offer a good time for those who like classic table games like Blackjack, Roulette, and Poker, but you can also come here and relax in their heated sea-water pool with an ocean view.

City of the Ocean

The museum Cité de l’Océan et du Surf can answer questions like: where does the water in the oceans come from? Did Atlantis really exist? Would we be here if the ocean never existed? More than one of your senses will be engaged in the fun journey toward learning about the depths of the ocean. 3D animations and interactive devices will guide you along your way.

Hôtel du Palais

Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III, created Hôtel du Palais at the end of the 19th century, and it still towers over the northern end of Grand Plage. A visit is well worth the time. In fact, it is essentially a must-see – the interiors and the atmosphere are reminiscent of a bygone era.
