La Dame de Coeur: the cosy, family-friendly board game bar in Paris's 14th arrondissement

Near the Gare Montparnasse station, a friendly games bar awaits you for lively games with friends or family, while you enjoy pastries or an aperitif, depending on the time of day, just like at home!

In early October 2024, a new spot lit up the afternoons and evenings of the 14th arrondissement, on the Mouton-Duvernet side. La Dame de Coeur joins the club of the capital's many gaming bars, offering a cosy, relaxed atmosphere that makes Aurore and Quentin feel right at home.

Open from Wednesday to Sunday, it's the perfect place for an aperitif with friends or an afternoon with the kids, with a small kitchen opening onto the room and 250 board games that you can borrow for one (or twelve) games. Whether you've already got a game in mind, or are guided by the recommendations of the managers, you're sure to find what you're looking for. Classic, indie, strategy, fantasy, cooperative or atmospheric? There's no better way to create fun memories with your loved ones!

Family-friendly, there's a wide choice of games for children to play, weekdays or from 11am on weekends! If the first floor isn't particularly large with its comforting colors, another room welcomes players in the basement, under a stone vault of the most beautiful effect. As is often the case in these bars, you have to pay 4 euros per person to enjoy the games freely, while you consume!

Everything is prepared from the heart, from sweet homemade treats to spreads and boards of charcuterie and cheese from nearby shops, to accompany hot drinks, organic fruit juices, wines, (local) beers or the cocktail of the day! With coffee and hot chocolate on this rainy day, we enjoyed a fondant cookie and some comforting sweets, while discovering new games, because it's a chance to get off the beaten track!

We're going to lay our cards on the table here: we've fallen head over heels for Courtisans, which catches the eye at first glance with its magnificent graphics. A strategy game that takes us back to medieval times and invites us to the Queen's table, where treachery and great families mingle to our great delight, although it took us one game to grasp all the ins and outs. A fine initiation, before continuing with a more classic Olé Guacamolé, in a simpler game full of laughter!

It's a games bar that's been sorely lacking in this district, and one that's sure to keep it going for a long time to come!
