The Tarot of Marseille

Marin Montagut has always been fascinated by the mysteries of fortune telling and dreamed of creating his own divinatory game. A childhood dream, which was particularly close to his heart, has now become reality.

In his workshop in Normandy, Marin worked meticulously for two years to imagine, draw and paint in watercolor each card of his game. We find in his illustrations the joyful and fanciful universe that we know him for, inspired by 19th century engravings.

Manufacturing:

Marin Montagut wanted this game to be made in the purest tradition of French card making. The cards are large format (9cm/15.5cm), laminated and manufactured by a printer in Normandy.

Each game is gilded on the edges by one of the last gilders in France, near Paris, in order to best respect the techniques used in the 18th and 19th centuries. Finally, hot gilding is used for the lettering, which makes this game a real gem.

The box recalls the iconic secret books of Marin Montagut, a true showcase for this precious Tarot game. Each game also contains an explanatory booklet (French and English version), allowing novices to learn its divination and to shed light on any situation to better guide the person questioning them.
