Festival du Jeu en Pays Morcenais

A traveling festival across six towns

The Festival du Jeu does not have a single venue. Each day of the week, a different town in the Pays Morcenais hosts the festivities: Arengosse, Lesperon, Morcenx-la-Nouvelle, Onesse-Laharie, Ousse-Suzan, and Ygos-Saint-Saturnin share the program. The venue changes at every stop, and the schedule varies from year to year, so be sure to check the daily location before heading out.

What to play

The 2024 and 2025 editions feature: giant wooden games and the As2Pik shop, a retro gaming zone with arcade cabinets (Pac-Man, Mario Bros, Space Invaders), inflatable street games, troll ball, a sand marble track, a construction zone, family Zumba, and cooperative board games. In 2025, new additions include a climbing wall with Alive Sport, a cardboard workshop led by L'Atelier du Crayon, Robobrick robotics (LEGO robot piloting), and an inclusive space managed by the Pôle Ressources Inclusif, featuring adapted equipment.

Children under 6 have their own dedicated slots: an early childhood area and motor skills courses with the Relais Petite Enfance, sensory paths, and musical baby play. The Brigade à roulettes Roller Disco is the evening highlight, featuring music, games, and contests on a rink set up in a gymnasium, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM in 2025. The week also includes cinema screenings with Ciné Loisirs and a board game evening with the Ludiklandes association and the Ludobus.

Organizers

The Ludobus is a service provided by the Pays Morcenais community of communes: a mobile toy library that travels throughout the year across the six towns for free play, game rentals, and workshops. The festival is one of its flagship events, organized in partnership with local towns, the Pays Morcenais library network, and local associations.
