Can we bring a stroller?

Yes. Much of the festival is on grass, though, so some areas are hard going on wheels.

Can we leave for a break and come back?

Yes, as long as you keep the wristband you get at the entrance.

Can my teenager go without an adult?

Kids 13 and older can enter on their own. The organizers recommend younger ones come with an adult.

Do my kids need to know the games already?

No, volunteers explain games in every space. The one exception is the tournaments: for games like Azul, Splendor and 7 Wonders you need to know the rules before signing up.

About

Paris est Ludique is an open-air board game festival run by volunteers on the Pelouse de Reuilly in the Bois de Vincennes. Families wander between spaces: a library of 600-plus games to borrow and play, oversized XL versions of classics, beginner role-playing tables, miniature painting, tournaments and prototypes to vote on. It suits kids who like games with rules, and parents happy to sit on grass for hours.

From €5/day, under 9 free (2026)
