Experience authentic Parisian luxury with Grimaud N°201 : Cartes à Jouer (Coral Red) Playing Cards—a premium 54-card deck designed for both Bridge and Poker that showcases 175 years of French artisanal card-making mastery.
Grimaud Heritage:
Since 1848, Baptiste Paul Grimaud revolutionized playing card manufacturing by introducing gold-gilded corners to protect cards from wear—a hallmark of quality that continues today. Manufacturing from the historic Atelier Rue de Lancry in Paris since 1865, Grimaud earned its reputation as France's premier luxury card maker, supplying European royalty and discerning players worldwide. The brand's 1890s-era Coral Red back design remains one of the most elegant and recognizable patterns in playing card history, drawing its rich color palette from Grimaud's ornate Jeu Louis XV costume deck issued in 1895.
