French games can be very collectible in their own right. French games, just as other countries games, come in all types but the lithography on board games is exceptional. There is something about the French script and colors which has a nostalgic feel about them. The boxes are as beautiful as the game inside.
Below are some examples and price guides of some French games including a marble game with a circus theme and an aeroplane board game.
