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.
