Ludothèque de Terre Sainte in Coppet

A real game cave just steps from the Coppet train station

The Terre Sainte game library is the address we love to keep in our pocket. Located at the Collège des Rojalets, at Route de Founex 31, it brings together over 3000 games that can be borrowed for a few francs. Educational games, board games, large outdoor games: there is something for all ages and all desires. It's the perfect place to test a game before buying it, occupy a rainy afternoon, or prepare a birthday without breaking the bank. And all this is just a few minutes' walk from the CFF station in Coppet.

What your children will discover

Your children will quickly understand the pleasure of choosing their own game from well-stocked shelves. The youngest head straight for the educational toys and building games, while the older ones search for board games and strategy games. The borrowing principle also teaches them to take care of the materials and return them in good condition. It's a lovely way to discover new things without accumulating at home.

What you can do there and the atmosphere on site

The atmosphere is friendly and family-oriented, at a human scale. People come to browse the shelves, ask for advice from volunteers, and leave with one or more games under their arm. On Wednesday afternoons, a craft workshop may be offered depending on the current program: an opportunity to extend the visit with a creative moment. You can also rent inflatable castles and costumes, very handy when organizing a party.
