402 Eaux-Bonnes - Le Casino

Le Casino must have been a popular site for locals and tourists as there are many postcards of this magnificent building nestled into the slopes of the Pyrenees hillside.  Most of the cards featured shots of this ramp leading up to the building with various carriages on the roadways and pedestrians milling about on the sidewalks or sitting on the railings.  Pretty, I thought.  I almost missed it...the Pyrenees!  Needless to say this card came home to my collection.  I wonder if this building is still standing?  The photograph must have been taken in the early 1900s.  Another mystery that I must unravel.  In the lower left corner is the name Royer and Nancy.  I would expect this was the photographer.  There is nothing on the back to identify the publisher of the card.  Les Pyrenees Illustrees.
