In the former mansion of vicomtesse Marie Laure de Noailles (1902-1971) who hosted many magical parties for famous painters, writers and musicians, is the Baccarat Gallery-Musuem created in the neo-rococo style by Philippe Starck.
From the beautifully adorned red carpet entrance leading up the grand staircase, you are greeted by huge and ornate chandeliers, like nothing you have seen before.
Highlights include monumental pieces like the Tsar Nicholas II candelabra, services made for princes and maharajahs and items by designers Georges Chevalier and Ettore Sottsass. You can follow the whole history of Baccarat and its designs over the years. Oh, and we don't want to forget the painted canopy by Gerard Garouste, which is definitely not something to miss!
After you've had a chance to ogle and "ahhh" over the beautifully designed pieces (like the peacock feather vase above) you now understand why we are fans of "Baccarat"!

Baccarat or Punto Banco is usually played in a separate casino area. The playing table is about the size of a craps table with three casino dealers and up to 12 or 14 players. There are just two principal bets to make: banker or player - Banco or Punto, plus the rarely used Standoff. Some casinos let the players deal the cards in turn and others have a casino dealer to deal the cards. In online Baccarat the cards are dealt automatically by a virtual dealer.
