The Grimaud N°600 : Cartes de Patience (Dolphin Blue) is a luxury French solitaire deck that distills more than 175 years of Parisian card‑making into a compact, travel‑ready format. Designed expressly for Patience and other solitaire games, N°600 contains 54 miniature cards with English indices, each measuring approximately 61 × 70 mm (2.4 × 2.8 inches), with the signature Dolphin Blue card back—a refined geometric pattern drawn from Grimaud’s historic color palette.
Each card is printed in France on custom black‑core, casino‑grade paper with a bespoke varnish for smooth handling and long‑term durability. The corners are finished with gold gilding, a hallmark innovation of Baptiste‑Paul Grimaud that helps protect the cards from wear while adding a subtle metallic gleam in the hand.
The faces are illustrated by Parisian artist Julie Serre, who reinterprets the classic Portraits Parisiens courts with fresh detail, muted teal and red accents, and playful character touches, while keeping the traditional French indices and layouts intact.
N°600 is housed in a rigid, mass‑tinted Dolphin Blue box and matching paper sleeve, embossed and stamped with reproductions of Grimaud’s Universal Exposition medals and a gold seal—turning the pack itself into a small collectible object.
Compact yet opulent, Grimaud N°600 is ideal for refined solitaire sessions at a café table, on a train, or at home, and pairs perfectly with Grimaud N°200 and the rest of the modern Grimaud collection available at ClassicDecks.com.
