Ludi'Langres: the game festival in the heart of the fortified city
Created in 2018 by the association Res Ludum (renamed Ludi'Langres), the Langres game festival was born from the desire of three young Haute-Marne residents passionate about promoting the world of games in their region. After two precursor editions under the name "Fort en Jeux" in 2014 and 2015, the event took off under the name Ludi'Langres to become the annual meeting for game lovers in Haute-Marne.
A rich and varied program for all audiences
Each edition of the festival offers a total immersion in the world of games thanks to numerous themed areas. Visitors can discover:
- A game library with over 300 board games freely available, run by passionate volunteers who explain the rules and facilitate games
- Giant games outdoors, perfect for families and younger children
- A role-playing game area with introductory sessions and games led by experienced game masters every afternoon
- A miniatures and card games area dedicated to wargames, Magic, and collectible card games
- Immersive escape games designed specifically for the festival
- Trollball, a life-size game sport combining strategy and physical activity
- A prototypes area where game designers come to test their creations with the public
A family-friendly and accessible event
One of Ludi'Langres' strengths is its accessibility. Admission is completely free, allowing everyone to participate without financial constraints. The festival is designed to welcome all ages and skill levels, from toddlers discovering their first games to seasoned gamers seeking new challenges. The generous opening hours — Thursday to Saturday from 10 am to midnight and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm — allow everyone to fully enjoy the event.
Langres, an exceptional historic setting
The festival takes place in the magnificent fortified city of Langres, the birthplace of Denis Diderot, perched on a promontory offering remarkable panoramas. This city of art and history, encircled by its famous 3.5 km ramparts, provides a unique heritage setting for hosting a major gaming event. Visitors can thus combine cultural discovery and the pleasure of gaming during a long summer weekend.

The 9th edition of Ludi'Langres will be held from July 9 to 12, 2026, in a new venue, the Jean-Favre hall in Langres. This move follows renovation work planned at Sacré-Cœur during the summer. As every year, the festival will offer four days of free gaming activities for all audiences.
