We find ourselves plunged into the middle of a Baccarat game, in a sumptuous atmosphere that recalls the grand salon of the Deauville Casino.
It’s the crowd of a big night… the women are, of course, dressed in Paul Poiret and seated around three large tables in that characteristic green; the men are in tuxedos… there is a liveried usher just to the right of the composition, briefly holding our attention… and the magic happens… place your bets!
