Paris now has a new giant of nightlife entertainment. On Tuesday, May 12, following a launch evening attended by the press and close partners of the company, Groupe Partouche officially inaugurated its “Partouche Casino Club.”
The “Partouche Casino Club” is a vast gaming venue located on Avenue de la Grande-Armée, just steps away from the Arc de Triomphe. With this extraordinary project, the French group aims to make the capital an essential destination for poker and table game enthusiasts.
What can you find at the “Partouche Casino Club”?
Open every day from noon to 6 a.m., the establishment is focused on delivering a premium experience aimed at both Parisians and international tourists staying in the major hotels around the Champs-Élysées. More than €100 million has been invested (excluding the heavy taxation imposed on this type of gaming club), and over 200 employees have been recruited to operate this new complex, presented as the largest gaming club in Paris.

Located in a fully redesigned building, the club spans nearly 8,000 square meters, including 5,000 dedicated exclusively to gaming. The first floor, devoted to traditional games, stands out for its elegant décor and refined materials. The second floor is dedicated to poker and cash games, while the third floor offers a large modular space designed to host various events and tournament formats.
Unlike traditional casinos, which have been banned within Paris city limits for more than a century, the Partouche Casino Club does not feature slot machines. Instead, the venue focuses entirely on table games and poker, with a particularly ambitious offering: blackjack, punto banco, ultimate poker, cash games, and major international tournaments will shape the upcoming months’ programming. The club is also the only venue in Paris to offer craps tables, an iconic game of American casinos.
“We have every interest in making sure customers enjoy themselves”
For Fabrice Paire, Chairman of the Executive Board of Groupe Partouche, the objective goes far beyond gaming alone. “There is a real demand and expectation in Paris that justifies the opening of this magnificent club,” he told France Bleu. The group hopes to turn the venue into a true nightlife and entertainment hub capable of attracting a loyal French clientele on a regular basis. “We are focusing on repeat visits, so we have every interest in making sure customers enjoy themselves and do nothing but enjoy themselves.”

The group also aims to attract an international audience through its global tournaments. Fabrice Paire also stated that all staff members will remain particularly vigilant regarding any signs of gambling addiction.
As Paris continues to strengthen its experiential offering, the Partouche Casino Club could become one of the city’s new nighttime attractions. Alongside the recent reopening of Bus Palladium and the future inauguration of Le Palace, the French capital is reviving already iconic venues to keep the party going until the early hours of the morning.
