Can somebody PLEASE tell me what kind of car this is?

The casino today... not exactly the same elegance as the old one...

Deauville, for all intents and purposes IS Royale.

Or, for that matter, Prague.

Perhaps Fleming based some of the details of Royale-les-Eaux on the layout of the town or on some of it's buildings?

It is the spirit of Deauville that Fleming takes, not it's geographical location.

No, the events of Casino Royale are based on events purported to have taken place in the Estoril Casino but Estoril itself was not the basis of the fictional location.
John Cork did indeed write an excellent piece on the subject matter (take the article along with you when/if you visit the place).
Having been to Deauville, Le Touquet and Estoril, I think that the place Fleming described is the spirit of Deauville.
Le jeu est fait!

I don't think Royale was based on any one place, but on the memories Fleming had of gambling at so many of those casinos over the years.
Keep dancing,
