The free board game and gaming culture festival in Touraine
Touraine en Jeux was born in 2024 from the passion of two game enthusiasts, Olivier and Philippe, founders of the association La Riche Ludique (LRL). This free festival, organized in partnership with the city of La Riche, has established itself from its very first edition as a must-attend event for board game and gaming culture enthusiasts in Indre-et-Loire, welcoming over 1,100 participants.
The festival offers a rich program covering all facets of gaming culture. Modern board games are at the heart of the event, with hundreds of titles freely accessible and facilitators available to explain the rules. Role-playing games, led by the association Ad Vitam Rôlistam, allow novices and experienced players alike to experience imaginary adventures. Classic games (Scrabble, Mahjong, chess) and traditional wooden games are featured alongside a multimedia and video game space.
Touraine en Jeux is designed to welcome all audiences. A dedicated children's area offers games suitable for the youngest, while experienced gamers gather for more competitive tactical tournaments and duels. Families can discover new games together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, guided by passionate volunteers.
The festival spans three days at the Complexe Bialy in La Riche, with an opening evening on Friday, a full day on Saturday, and a closing day on Sunday. The venue features a beer garden and barbecue for on-site dining in a friendly, summery atmosphere. Admission is completely free, both for visitors and exhibitors, in a spirit of sharing and discovery.
La Riche, a town bordering Tours, hosts game nights organized by La Riche Ludique throughout the year. The Touraine en Jeux festival is the highlight of this associative activity, bringing together all the players in Touraine's gaming culture in one place.
From July 4 to 6, 2025, the 2nd edition of Touraine en Jeux expands to three days at the Complexe Bialy. On the program: modern board games, role-playing games with Ad Vitam Rôlistam, multimedia games, classic games, children's games, tactical tournaments, and wooden games. Beer garden and barbecue on-site.
The Complexe Bialy is located in La Riche, a municipality west of Tours.
