Pasino GRAND Partouche La Tour de Salvagny: the property and its location
Property and location research updated 26 October 2026.
The former Lyon Vert, west of Lyon
Pasino Grand Partouche La Tour de Salvagny is the identity of the casino at 200 Avenue du Casino, west of central Lyon. The operator presents a complex of gaming, dining, hotel and event facilities, with the casino itself located in La Tour-de-Salvagny. The geographical distinction matters: this venue is outside central Lyon, not among its historic districts. The website is the best starting point for property arrangements, especially where older directories still use the Lyon Vert name or describe restaurants that have since changed.

Understanding the redevelopment
The municipality explicitly identifies Pasino Grand as the former Casino Lyon Vert and describes a substantial expansion of its gaming spaces, from approximately 1,600 to almost 4,000 square metres. Its account highlights electronic gaming areas and outdoor spaces as part of the modernisation. These figures describe the scale of the redevelopment, not a measure of the quality of an individual visit. They also explain why older photographs and reviews can show a very different building arrangement. The present property should be understood through the renamed complex, rather than by assuming that every facility mentioned under Lyon Vert remains in the same place.

Le Grandioz inside the casino
Le Grandioz is the casino’s current restaurant, located within the gaming hall. The operator describes buffet dining with separate lunch and evening services, rather than continuous full-menu availability throughout the casino’s opening hours. Its location is important for diners who might otherwise imagine a completely separate public restaurant entrance. Access conditions should be clarified when reserving, particularly for mixed-age groups. The restaurant’s presentation and menus can change with the season, so this profile does not repeat old prices or promise particular dishes. Nor should a dining reservation be interpreted as requiring participation in any casino game or promotional offer.

The neighbouring Hôtel Le Pavillon
Hôtel and Spa Le Pavillon belongs to the same Partouche group but publishes a different address: 3 Avenue Georges Bassinet in Charbonnières-les-Bains. Its website lists twelve Deluxe rooms and ten Junior Suites, making it a comparatively small hotel rather than a large tower attached to the gaming floor. The hotel describes landscaped grounds and interiors combining contemporary lines with Art Deco references. Distinguishing the two addresses is useful for arrivals, luggage and meeting arrangements. A casino visit does not automatically include a hotel room or access to its wellness facilities, and guests should check their accommodation’s own inclusions rather than assuming a combined package.

Meetings, terraces and shared facilities
Partouche’s event information brings the casino and hotel together as a venue for business and private gatherings. Named spaces include the Grand Cercle, Orangerie, lounges and terraces, with different capacities depending on the arrangement. The same presentation describes a wellness area with an indoor pool, sauna and steam room. These facilities broaden the complex beyond its casino identity, but they are not all interchangeable or automatically available to every visitor. An organiser needs a confirmed room configuration, catering plan and technical specification for the proposed event. Maximum combined capacity is not a substitute for checking how a particular group will use the space.

The former racecourse as public park
The Parc de l’Hippodrome preserves another strand of local leisure history. The municipality records racing and social events there between 1931 and 1965. Today, the twenty-hectare park serves walkers, families and sports users, with facilities including outdoor courts, children’s play areas and a running and walking circuit. Surviving buildings connect the present public space with its former role, but it is no longer an operating racecourse. The park also publishes different seasonal opening hours. Visitors should not confuse its public recreation facilities with the private casino complex simply because both belong to the area’s long association with entertainment.

A grandstand with architectural recognition
The French Ministry of Culture’s heritage record gives more detail about the old racecourse grandstand. It attributes the 1931 structure to Lyon architect Eugène Deschavannes and records the racecourse’s inauguration on 13 July that year. The venue closed in September 1965 and became municipal property in 1982, before its conversion into a broader leisure site. This official record makes the grandstand a useful architectural destination in its own right. The recognition concerns the historic structure, not a rating of the casino or a claim that every building nearby is protected. It also anchors the local story in documented dates rather than nostalgic generalisations.

Restoration and the Bassinet connection
Patrimoine Aurhalpin recognised the municipality’s restoration of the grandstand, weighing room and refreshment buildings with a 2021 award. Its project account explains the relationship between Georges Bassinet’s casino ambitions and the creation of the racecourse. It also describes structural concerns that helped make restoration necessary. This connects the casino district with a wider heritage effort, while keeping the present ownership and uses distinct. The restored racecourse buildings are not evidence that the casino interior itself has remained historic. For visitors interested in architecture, the value lies in comparing successive layers of leisure development rather than expecting a single preserved resort from one period.

Lacroix-Laval’s different landscape
The nearby Domaine de Lacroix-Laval is a separate public landscape managed by the Métropole de Lyon. Its 115 hectares include valleys, meadows, ponds and woodland, with a château, formal garden and collections of older local fruit, vegetable and flower varieties. These features offer a contrast to the enclosed entertainment spaces of the Pasino. The metropolitan authority publishes access information and warns against park use during severe weather. It also distinguishes daytime access from night-time restrictions. A railway stop bearing the Casino Lacroix-Laval name is useful geographical context, but visitors still need to check the route from their chosen arrival point to the intended entrance.

A mapped walk beyond the casino
For a more structured outing, the Métropole publishes a five-kilometre circular walk from Belle Étoile through Lacroix-Laval. The route passes named areas including the Varennes clearing, the Grande Rivière and the ponds, and is classified as easy with modest elevation change. This provides a concrete alternative to treating the surrounding countryside as a vague attraction. Allowing time for a walk and then travelling to the casino involves separate planning, not one continuous indoor complex. Current signs, weather and transport timetables remain relevant, especially if an evening event follows a daytime visit to the park and a return journey into Lyon.
