Le jeu des Cartusiens* is a card game based on the history of the village of Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez in the 20th century.
*A Cartusien is the name of the inhabitants of Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez.
In 2019, the Association de Sauvegarde et d’Animation de l’ancienne Chartreuse de Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez (Association for the Preservation and Promotion of the Former Charterhouse of Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez) begun collecting the village’s memory. Workshops and meetings were organised with local residents.
In 2022, Louis Tignol, an anthropology student at the University of Lyon 2, conducted a series of interviews to complement this work.
Thanks to these testimonies, books written by René Vassoille and workshops, in 2023 Studio Idaë designed a set of 80 cards inviting players to recreate a timeline of the history of the village of Sainte-Croix en Jarez in the 20th century.

A multidisciplinary creative agency founded by Isabelle Daëron in 2018, Studio Idaë arose from a reflection on the use of natural flows — water, air, light — in public space.
The Studio has, ever since, developed an approach based on research and education, focusing on the urban, environmental and societal challenges of the ecological transition.
Driven by a poetical & committed team of designers, Studio Idaë applies its refined, assertive graphic signature to projects of various scales. From urban devices to mediation objects and supports, or scenography, the agency’s protean contributions always strive at others — their needs, their desires, and their evolution.
The agency operates within a network of local companies and collaborates with dedicated craftspeople to adapt to the specific characteristics of each territory. Together, they work towards the most appropriate and relevant response — between narration and mediation.
Pauline Avrillon, product designer graduated from École Boulle joined the studio in 2017, and works on urban design projects. Angèle Fourteau, product designer graduated from ECAL works on set design projects since 2022. Eléna Hervé Caro joined the team in 2023 as office manager.
