The history of the Plougastel-Daoulas Casino

Brigitte and Jean-Pierre have been welcoming you for several years in the gîte which they have renovated on the site of the former "Casino" café.

​

This café was a popular place to live in the village both for the place and for the master of the place: Job Calvès also called "Job an Arvor". Why was it called the casino? We don't seem to know.

​

This former fisherman, a true local figure, welcomed his customers with a towel over his shoulder. The regulars were received as friends, as for the "foreigners", they had to be accepted, but this was easy in this place where human warmth reigned.

​

Even today, Job watches over his casino thanks to his statue which sits proudly at the entrance to the property. And don't worry, "foreigners" have since been welcomed as friends ;-)
