Casino Grand Annemasse

Annemasse is a commune in France and is located in the department of Haute-Savoie in the region of Rhone-Alpes. Lying southwest of Lake Geneva, the city is on the Franco-Swiss border. There are several local attractions worth checking out, many leaning toward the arts and culture, like the cultural centre Chateau Rouge, the School of Fine Arts of Geneva, the Annemasse Conservatory of Music, the Cinema Arthouse and the Villa du Parc, the centre of contemporary art.
