Now that spring is (intermittently) here, it's time to start thinking of the seaside. Nothing conjures up the golden age of glamour, sunshine and Agatha Christie mysteries better than a bit of art deco, and Pléneuf-Val-André on the Breton coast has a gem. La Rotonde casino was built in 1934 by architects Le Goullec et Petit. It replaced an obsolete Victorian original, and still provides gambling, a restaurant and a jaunty air to the sea front.

This is fantastic and in great condition. I hope you didn't lose your shirt inside though!
No, I never made it to the gaming tables (just as well because I'm neither skilled nor lucky). I did go in the one-armed bandit room, but it was dark and full of grim-faced elderly women joylessly feeding in their centimes, so I made a quick escape!
