Re: Carlos, "Balzi Rossi" is in the gate; site nam

A la sortie est de la ville (NOTE: MENTON), côté frontière italienne s’élèvera le Casino des Rochers Rouges, placé sous la masse des falaises du même nom. C’est un édifice monumental faisant face à la mer conçu par l’architecte niçois Dettlof. Le chantier ne sera jamais entièrement terminé. Ce casino-restaurant, lieu de rencontre d’une clientèle essentiellement frontalière sera totalement détruit en 1940. (L’EPOPEE DES CASINOS DE MENTON DE 1848 A 1934, Dominique Gorzala)

At the east exit of the city (NOTE: MENTON), on the Italian border side, the Casino des Rochers Rouges will rise, placed under the mass of the cliffs of the same name. It is a monumental building facing the sea designed by the Nice architect Dettlof. The site will never be completely finished. This casino-restaurant, a meeting place for mainly cross-border customers, was completely destroyed in 1940. (The Epic of Menton Casinos from 1848 to 1934, Dominique Gorzala)
