Designed for games including Poker (N°200 and 201), Bridge (N°300), Patience (N°600 and 601) Belote (N°100) and Tarot à Jouer (N°700), Grimaud’s redefined classic playing cards reference the refined colors used in Grimaud’s historical decks. With a history rooted in innovation and a commitment to artisanal printing methods, these playing cards offer a perfect playability and unmatched durability and quality.

Presented in a paper sleeve and a bespoke box, the cards are offered in a choice of Coral Red or Dolphin Blue backs, with a nasturtium flower motif (iconic coin symbol of Grimaud’s historical Tarot de Marseille) and a monogrammed paper inspired by traditional ‘domino’ woodblock printing methods. Each card is printed on custom-made, black core, casino grade paper and a bespoke varnish ensures improved handling and longer-lasting cards.A ten-color printing technique provides optimal vibrancy and stable colors.

All Grimaud cards feature the statement gold gilded corners introduced by Baptiste Paul Grimaud, who not only pioneered rounded corners but also added gilding to make the cards more resilient to drops and crimping.

Grimaud commissioned artist Julie Serre to renovate the iconic Parisian faces of its playing cards, drawing inspiration from the history of Paris with a timeless point of view, infusing her wit in each character's personality, garments and accessories.

While its colors are drawn from Grimaud’s ornate ‘Jeu Louis XV’ costume deck issued in 1895, the Face Cards respect the traditional features of biblical and Greek mythology as well as the French Royal characters from the ‘Portraits Parisiens' deck of 1855 in detail and postures. Meanwhile, elegant and unique new motifs draw inspiration from old Grimaud symbols carved by Félix Simon hidden with the imagery of the four suites: Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades.

The Belline Oracle deck is designed to guide users through their journeys in life, with ancient wisdom channeled through the creativity of the player. With a simpler system, more accessible than the Tarot de Marseille, the Oracle brings peace to whoever uses it, beginner or expert, and helps them develop their intuition.

The 53 cards are presented in a navy blue box and paper sleeve, and printed on a custom-made, black core, casino grade paper. A bespoke varnish ensures improved handling and durability, and the cards feature a gold coldfoil on the faces and backs.

All Grimaud cards feature the statement Gold gilded corners introduced by Baptiste Paul Grimaud, who not only pioneered rounded corners but also added gilding to make our cards more resilient to drops and crimping.

The cards are accompanied by a 141-page booklet by cartomancy author Laetitia Barbier to guide the user through the meanings and interpretations of the divination deck.

Designed by Grimaud, the deck brings to life the celestial magic of the Belline Oracle through mysterious yet refined drawings, celebrating the statement Grimaud Dolphin Blue and Coral Red colors completed with a calming watercolor palette and elegant finishes.
