Place Yves Saint Laurent
Continue along the rue Eugène Colas to reach this mini square full of architectural history. Inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles, the casino built in 1912 is a mythical place. Since its inauguration by Nijinsky and the Ballets Russes, its Italian-style theater now hosts, among other things, the City's cultural season. At the opposite corner, the Normandy Barrière Hotel offers its entrance on the "Norman Court" side. Coco Chanel opened her first boutique here in 1913, and invented Chanel beige in reference to the wet sand of the beach.
