On the building site in Digne-les-Bains, a tree catches the eye. Solitary, ancient and majestic: a white mulberry tree. Where many would have seen it as an obstacle to be cut down, Golden Palace saw it as a symbol to be preserved. Not only will this decades-old tree be spared, it will become the heart of the future landscaping.
Building without erasing: a sustainable philosophy
Golden Palace does more than just build leisure and gaming establishments. The Belgian company is committed to a responsible construction approach, rooted in a clear conviction: a place is only meaningful if it respects those who live there and the nature that shelters it.
In Digne, this philosophy takes the form of a preserved white mulberry tree. In Thonon-les-Bains, it translates into the creation of a landscape designed to interact with nature. And in Charleroi, it’s a whole urban project designed to enrich the city, to give it back more than it takes away. Three sites, three stories, one intention: to leave a positive footprint.
Golden Palace’s concept of a positive footprint is not just about protecting nature. It is also a social and cultural commitment. By integrating the specific characteristics of each region, the company seeks to contribute to local vitality.
Digne, Thonon, Charleroi: a green triptych
In Digne-les-Bains, the story begins with this white mulberry tree. The company could have moved or removed it. Instead, it chose to redesign the entire project around it. The tree thus becomes an anchor, a living memory of the site.
In Thonon-les-Bains, the future complex designed by Golden Palace will be built around a landscaping concept that speaks to nature. The architects have worked to integrate the building gently into its surroundings, emphasising green perspectives, green roofs and pedestrian walkways.
And in Charleroi, the ambition goes even further. The project takes on the air of an ecological and urban manifesto: to create a place that does more than just stand on its own, but enriches the city.
A Belgian company in search of meaning
Golden Palace, founded in Belgium, has established itself as a major player in gaming and sport. But behind the facade of entertainment, the company is asserting its responsibility to contribute to harmonious development.
Through its projects, the company is redefining what a private player committed to the ecological transformation of cities can be. It proves that a casino can also become a garden, a breathing space, part of the local heritage.At a time when climate change is a matter of urgency, this positioning is inspiring. The Digne-les-Bains tree has become a symbol of an economy capable of combining growth and awareness.
