Today’s finds...

Went back to the Casino Dinard Wednesday night to get a few current chips. They were not happy with me asking for chips. They kept saying to go to the tables. The tables had no dealers....so I asked again and the cashier says “Oh yes....my friend said you were going to show up. (The cashier from earlier in the day)
She says I can only have one of each....really trying to sell me 20€ and 50€ pieces.
These were the chips I ended up with

On my way to Paris (almost 5 hours driving) The were a couple of casinos I could of stopped at, but they were an hour drive each way added to the trip. Decided not to.

We did manage to go to Casino Enghien-les-Bains. I went there wearing “dress” shorts.....no entry without trousers. So I went back to the car and put pants on. Then the entry fee was 16€.
I went in and they had no problem selling chips at the cage.....but only 5€ and up. The cage says all the games are 5€ minimum bet...so no 1€ chips. I spotted some at the baccarat table. I traded a 5 for a couple and left a tip. The 2€50 chips were on the Roulette table. These were the chips I got....the Deuville 5€ I got from Enghien-les-Bains from the cage. It was a casino I wanted to stop at...but out of the way. Got lucky getting it at a different casino. No orders chips/jetons available. I didn’t stop at any antique shops either.

On out way back to the car...forgot to get a picture of the casino. We did get stuck in the parking garage even though we paid...finally after 3 tries with the ticket gate and backing up ...the gate miraculously opens without a ticket.
Navigating through Paris seemed pretty easy until you get to the airport....then your navigation service runs you in circles....sometimes 3 miles out of the way. Decided to return the car early and relax for the remainder of the night.
More to come in a few days.
