“ With this luxury version of Backgammon, we are aiming to perpetuate one of the true traditions of
Saint Tropez life that can be passed down from generation to generation. ”

Saint Tropez…..our inspiration

This elegant and eco-responsible board game is 100% Made in France. It is the first in a series of “Tropezian Backgammon”. The casing has rounded edges, a direct reference to the shape of the local “pointu” fishing boats which are pointed at both ends. The board itself displays the traditional colors of the village of Saint Tropez : red and white.
Each set is crafted by hand. Each one is unique and rare. No two sets are ever the same.

A way of life, combining tradition and board games

Behind the numerous and varied images of St. Tropez, there is a definite lifestyle. From the wonderful artwork of Signac and Seurat to the novelist Colette, from Brigitte Bardot to todays jet set, not forgetting the heated “boules” matches on the main square and the all night parties organised by big names in the music industry.

Here is a board game that has lasted for centuries

Backgammon has existed for over 6000 years all over the Mediterranean area and has spread throughout Europe. The current rules were decided in England in the 18th century.

In the 19th century, the French Riviera became one of the favorite holiday destinations of the English aristocracy.

At that time, Backgammon was played in the quiet golf club bars or polo clubs. It was in this way that Backgammon became an integral part of the daily life of the inhabitants of St. Tropez, with its mediterranean and anglo saxon cultural influences.

Legendary games

It was when the doubling cube appeared in the USA after 1945 that backgammon entered gaming circles and it was soon to be found in the hotels and bars of St. Tropez. Legendary games took place involving true backgammon fans such as Mick Jagger, Roger Moore, Prince or Gunter Sachs. The game combines simplicity and conviviality, symbolizing one of the paradoxes of St. Tropez: its extravagance and its sincerity.
