About Casino du Lac
This Art Deco casino was built in 1927 by architect Albert Bluysen, commissioned by American billionaire Frank Jay Gould as part of his vision to develop luxury tourism in this Normandy spa town. The building features a monumental rotunda entrance hall, large windows flooding the salons with natural light, and panoramic views over Lake Bagnoles-de-l'Orne. Inside, visitors find 155 slot machines, table games including blackjack and roulette, and the 346-seat Cinéma Jean Gabin arthouse theater.

When local authorities refused to name the lake's bridge after Frank Jay Gould, the American billionaire who financed the casino, he permanently left Bagnoles-de-l'Orne and never returned. The bridge remains nameless to this day.
