    The Château du Bois-Vert in the park of Fouras is a vast neo-classical residence built in 1870, which was originally designed as a dwelling, before being transformed into a casino in 1886. It then became one of the the city's most fashionable places and the heart of social life.
    The left wing was added in 1887.
    A performance hall was subsequently inaugurated while the park, planted with holm oaks, adjoining the castle was fitted out to serve as a setting for outdoor parties.
    In 1913, the castle was transformed into a hotel, before being for a time converted into a convalescent home for soldiers wounded during the First World War.
    Its name was then "Hospital 103".
    The hotel was bought by the municipality in 1946 and closed in 1975.
    The castle, still owned by the municipality, has now become a place of reception.

      Rather than a castle, it's a building called the park's salons. Located behind the casino, it's used primarily for shows, weddings, etc.
