Welcome to the world of Barrière
With over a century of history and an identity deeply rooted in the French art of living, the Barrière group combines family heritage with innovation. Present in luxury hotels, casinos, restaurants, wellness and entertainment, it embodies a unique experience where excellence, conviviality and passion come together.
A legacy alive for over a century.
Barrière is France's leading casino operator and has also been a benchmark in luxury hotels, restaurants, leisure and entertainment for over 110 years.
A 100% family-owned company, founded in Deauville in 1912 by François André, then developed successively by Lucien Barrière and Diane Barrière, the Group is now co-chaired by their successors: Joy Desseigne-Barrière and Alexandre Barrière. From generation to generation, Barrière has been built on family values and hospitality, embodied everyday by its teams throughout France and internationally.
Diversity of activities and experiences.
At the crossroads between emblematic destinations and iconic establishments, Barrière has built more than a legacy: it has created its own signature. At the Normandy in Deauville, the Majestic in Cannes, and Fouquet’s in Paris, Courchevel, Saint-Barth and New York, Barrière shapes a unique and authentic French savoir-faire and art de vivre at each location.
Beyond its 33 historic casinos and gaming clubs, Barrière has taken a technological turn by becoming a digital player. Thanks to new expertise and its culture of innovation, over the years the Group has developed a diversity of businesses that make it rich and unique.
A corporate culture with a human face.
At Barrière, excellence is expressed daily thanks to a team of nearly 7,000 employees with varied profiles, spread across more than 50 different professions.
Joining Barrière means taking part in the renewal of a historic Group, which is experiencing a new lease of life under the impetus of its fourth generation.
One mission: to reinvent with responsibility.
Through its Planète Barrière strategy, the Group integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues at the heart of its business.
The well-being and health of customers and teams are at the heart of the Group’s strategy. The Barrière spirit is based on talent development and contributes to the dynamism of the regions, thus promoting an environment conducive to collective growth.
