The temple of retro gaming on the French Riviera
Created in 2012 in Mouans-Sartoux, the RE-PLAY Festival is the annual meeting for enthusiasts of retro gaming, pop culture, and nostalgia from the 70s to 2000s in the Alpes-Maritimes. For two days, the town transforms into a true epicenter of geek culture, bringing together collectors, gamers, and families around a unique video game and cultural heritage.
A paradise for gamers
The RE-PLAY Festival offers visitors dozens of consoles, computers, and arcade machines for free play.

Visitors can play freely all day, rediscovering the classics that have marked several generations of gamers.
Much more than video games
The festival is not limited to retro gaming. It embraces all of the pop culture from the 70s to 2000s: vintage toys, collectible figurines, vinyl records, comic books, manga, and cult objects are exhibited and offered for sale by specialized exhibitors. Fascinating conferences allow you to dive into the history of video games and popular culture, while notable guests come to share their expertise and anecdotes.
