France has more casinos than almost any other European country, but their locations follow a nineteenth-century rule: licences were tied to spa towns, seaside resorts and climatic stations, which is why the biggest names are at Deauville, Cannes, Nice and Enghien-les-Bains rather than in Paris.

Floors are usually divided between a machine hall, which opens earlier and dresses informally, and the traditional tables, where single-zero roulette and chemin de fer have long been the house games.
