About Sauve qui Jeu
Sauve qui Jeu, the playful event of Ardèche
Sauve qui Jeu is a board game festival organized in Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut, in the heart of the Eyrieux valley in Ardèche. Born from the collaboration between the association Les Culotté.e.s and the game store Eyr'Jeux Café, this friendly festival celebrates the joy of gaming in all its forms.
Hundreds of games for all tastes
The festival offers visitors hundreds of board games spread across about sixty tables. Strategy games, party games, cooperative games, children's games: the selection covers all styles and levels. Volunteer facilitators are present to explain the rules and guide players in their gaming discoveries.
Growing Success
From its very first edition, Sauve qui Jeu has been a great success with over 530 paid entries. The second edition was held on March 2 and 3, 2024, confirming the public's enthusiasm for this gaming event. The festival continues to grow and attract more and more board game enthusiasts in Ardèche.
A Family-Friendly and Accessible Event
Located at the gymnasium of Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut, the festival is designed to welcome families and players of all ages. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with catering facilities and additional activities throughout the weekend. The event contributes to revitalizing the cultural and social life of the Eyrieux valley.
A Weekend of Sharing and Discovery
Beyond gaming, Sauve qui Jeu is a moment of meeting and sharing. Game publishers come to present their new releases, friendly tournaments are organized, and the festive atmosphere invites everyone to discover new game mechanics. The festival is part of the dynamic network of gaming events in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
