Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality.”
I have always dreamed of evolving in a field that brings people together since I was little. I was often the one who tried to resolve conflicts to patch up friends who were arguing.
Because it would be a shame to lose people you care about over trivial things. There are times when unfortunately nothing can be fixed...
I have always believed and still believe now that we all have something to learn from each other and that our differences do not separate us, but teach us and bring us together.
I like to hope that on my modest scale as an independent store I will be able to bring together people who might not have dared to talk to each other without the game activities.
I have seen players get to know each other and become friends thanks to game animations and that delights me to the highest degree.
Every day I hear players tell me that they meet up for game evenings with other players they have met during game events or in stores.
I hope to see other initiatives continue to appear in Vaison and its surroundings (or even elsewhere) so that the world of gaming is no longer seen as elitist, but continues to open up to amateurs or initiates from all walks of life. .
I will pursue my goal of bringing people together through board games, because I like to share this passion with you. ;)
Good day and good game ;)

“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. »
When I see a board game, I don't just see a board, cards, dice or pawns, I see moments together, smiles, laughter, complicity and conviviality.
From the games festival in Cannes, I like to observe the new products that will arrive in order to be able to offer you interesting fun nuggets.
I also love sharing with you moments around golden aces and other games that fascinate us, because more than games, these moments are unique.
I don't just see players in front of me, but enthusiasts, amateurs who are thirsty for fun discoveries, experts with whom I just as enjoy experimenting with more complex but still stimulating games.
I love tricksters who try to bend the rules of the game thinking that I don't see them doing it and that I'm not going to say anything... ;)
I love seeing the smiles appear on the faces of children who need them the most to thrive. :)
I love bringing even just a few moments of sharing and conviviality to all my players aged 3 to 103. ;)
I love seeing you open up to the playful world and sit around a table to play together.
Board games will always remain for me a way of getting to know each other and sharing unique moments together.
We all remember good times shared around board games, regardless of our ages.
So while we in Vaison are Playing the Game, I intend to offer you more and more of the fun world! ;)

“To conquer without danger, we triumph without glory. »
Daily difficulties do not scare me, on the contrary, they are a source of motivation for me!
Because in times of difficulty, we step out of our comfort zone and learn to find a solution that we didn't already have at hand.
In the end, difficulty allows us to gain experience, because if we had not been confronted with it, we would not have been able to learn and evolve.
For example, the recurring network difficulties in Vaison forced me to organize myself differently and ultimately save time!
I also think of the backbiting and gratuitous nastiness that have allowed me to strengthen myself and live more peacefully from now on, even if they still take place.
You can't please everyone, otherwise it would be pleasing no one.
As long as I haven't hurt anyone, if people are angry with me for no reason, it's not my problem, but theirs...
I'm not the type who needs to do harm to gain attention, I prefer to try kindness even if it takes longer to work. ;)
Covid has put us all in difficulty in various aspects of our daily life and work. Thanks to a better balance between professional and personal lives, I was able and can continue to concentrate even better on your requests and playtime that suits you.
We might believe, when the difficulty falls upon us, that we will not find how to resolve it. But by thinking about alternative solutions, we can find more effective solutions or ones that we might not have thought of.
I did not think that Click and Collect could in the long term be a practical solution for some of my customers and I am satisfied that covid has allowed me to provide an additional useful service to those who use it!
In short, if life were too quiet, we wouldn't be pushed back to our limits and we would just pass by without learning anything, which I think is a shame!
Congratulations to all these companies who go through and continue to go through crises and trials and hold on!
Congratulations to all those who did everything they could to hold on and good luck with their new projects, may they bring them satisfaction!
Thank you to everyone who progresses alongside me at the store and in life in general.
Thank you also to those who have contributed and continue to contribute to my experiences of the store, good or bad…

“He who follows in the footsteps of others can never come first. »
I always knew from the start of the store that I wanted to offer something that didn't exist in Vaison, that is to say board game activities.
I was happy to bring something original to Vaison and in fact the store's logo is inspired by this desire to bring people together through board games.
You will be able to see men holding hands and a man who creates this link between the other two.
You will also be able to see that the general shape of the men forms a “V” for Vaison and a delighted smile for the rapprochement of the characters via board games.
I also wanted to show that the world of board games from the 80s and after, which wanted to be elitist, was no longer necessarily so now...
Board games are now aimed at all types of audiences, from beginners to game enthusiasts, with family or friends while maintaining an “expert” part that appeals to more seasoned players.
I have played games in Vaison, its surroundings and in many other places and I am very happy to always be able to offer you these game times that I particularly like!
I will always be a force for suggestions and sharing my passion for board games in events and in stores, because you are always receptive and motivated so that in Vaison, we Play the Game! ;)

The Highlands, Scotland
The Highlands are a mountainous region to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault which runs through Scotland from Arran to Stonehaven.
This very sparsely populated and infertile region is covered with hills and mountains, several peaks of which exceed 1,000 meters in altitude, the Grampians Mountains to the south and the mountains of the Northwest Highlands to the north.
Thus, the highest peak in Scotland and the British Isles, Ben Nevis, rises to 1,345 meters above sea level in the Grampian Mountains.
These two massifs are separated by the geological fault of Glen Mor in which the Caledonian Canal stretches which connects the North Sea to the Scottish Sea and, beyond, to the Atlantic Ocean.
This canal passes through three large lakes: Loch Ness (famous for its so-called monster), Loch Lochy and Loch Oich.
The fictional Hogwarts School is located in the Highlands in the Harry Potter saga.

“We are more likely to turn towards the rising sun than the setting sun.”
We all love these games that bring us together and that everyone knows, because almost all of us know how to play them.
Because these games are reassuring and sure values that appeal to a large majority.
But there are also fun nuggets that we didn't expect and which arrive and surprise us with their accessibility and their incredible playability and replayability.
I have also chosen to offer you games in the store, but not only that... You will also find lesser-known games, but just as good as the others, because they offer a new approach.
During the Golden Aces and the International Games Festival in Cannes, the games benefit from the effect of the rising sun and are highlighted there.
In the setting sun, when you are very curious, you can also discover beautiful, playful nuggets that are not as highlighted.
These games from small publishers which do not benefit from the optimal light of a large distribution house but which offer playful wonders.
As you may already know, I am a curious serial gamer long before being the manager of my little store.
So, for me, little fun nuggets like for example Hive by Ludidistri and other wonders that go unnoticed always interest me…
So if you want to join the game enthusiasts who come to discover these fun nuggets from me and the other independents who offer them, you are always welcome. ;)

“Once the game is over, the king and the pawn are both placed in the same box. »
When the game ends, all the game pieces return to the box. At that moment, they are all on an equal footing, but before they all participated in a more or less calm game.
We do not necessarily have the same game or the same hand at our disposal. But knowing how to use an unfavorable hand to learn its weaknesses and make an experience of it is a great feat.
Starting from a position of strength is not always a guarantee of a winning game. Depending on the cards or pawns that appear during the round, the course of the game can change at any time.
Just as a failure does not necessarily leave us checkmate, whether we place our pawns well or not, sooner or later we end up learning from our mistakes.
The trump card will not always be in our favor, but by combining our positive and negative experiences we end up finding the combo that suits us.
I didn't start from an easy life, people put obstacles in my way and they continue to put obstacles in my way even today, but I would never take the hand of returning the medal.
In the end, failures, if we want to continue to believe in them, learn from our mistakes and be comforted by our successes, it is already a victory.
And at the end of the game, once the pawns and kings are placed together in the same box, what will remain above all with us is the memory of the games and moments that we shared with those who mattered most to us….

“Happiness is a habit to cultivate. »
Since I started the store, 6 years ago now, I always enjoy it every day.
I like to share these moments around board games with you, because beyond just playing a game, we share a unique moment.
I enjoy spending quality time playing board games every day and our discussions at the same time warm my heart.
These moments always teach me more about you and open me up to other life experiences, which for me is always enriching.
I try every day to see the bright side of things as much as possible, even if life doesn't always have good sides. Things won't get better if you think everything will go wrong.
It’s as if we wanted to run a race, but said we didn’t want to try because we would surely lose; when we have already lost since we did not want to try...
And believe me I am not spared from difficulties, but if we do not learn from all these experiences that life offers us then we remain in a position of perpetual waiting.
Happiness can be cultivated and through habit, we manage to see the experience that the bad trials we go through also offer us…
I learned to take a step back to allow the store to develop and offer you new things every day.
Ultimately, the mean things done against my store to demean it only strengthened it even more than before!
So thank you to all those people who say no, who put obstacles in the way, who belittle my store because you allow it to continue to progress even more than I had planned to do myself^^.
I plan to continue to mostly see the positive side of things, because that's the person I am and what benefits my store the most.

“It is by stumbling that we learn to walk. »
Like when we are children, when learning to walk we stumble very often, and yet, that does not stop us from getting up and continuing to learn to walk...
I have failed at certain things in the past. I think, for example, of keeping calm in the face of provocative people to annoy us.
I never insulted them, but yes I got momentarily angry, because I thought at the time that we always had to protect ourselves…
Then, over time, I realized that calm and ignoring provocation or denigration were much more comforting than wanting to be right at all costs.
Defending yourself against people who only see problems where there are solutions is often useless, because they will find other problems in the solutions that we have found again...
I decided to move forward and not dwell on when will we say about people who are determined to judge me without even trying to know me…
However, I wanted to apologize to the people to whom I was able to respond curtly when they insulted me or openly disrespected me...
Not for them, but for me, because they clearly had no business disrespecting or insulting me... But I shouldn't have wasted time giving them importance...
I nevertheless thank these people who allowed me to question myself and progress towards a better version of myself, more serene and determined to continue to develop my store in a lasting way...
And above all, thank you to all those people who, on a daily basis, support me, believe in my playful project and with whom I share with joy and pleasure the most beautiful things the gaming world has to offer. ;)

When you love what you do, you have less difficulty finding new ideas and sharing your passion with any enthusiast or enthusiast you meet along the way...
If I didn't have the ambition to share with you the world of gaming and what makes it unique and sometimes improbable to surprising, I wouldn't have opened the store.
Sharing my passion for board games with you means sharing my playful and passionately curious side.
“Love is not a feeling, it is a force, a virtue. » as Elizabeth de Bagréef-Spéeanski or Alphonse Karr said so well, “Love is what gives you the desire and the strength to build”.
The love of what we do with passion is a unique and inestimable strength!
I love each year that passes, building with you and seeing a fun world of endless imagination and talent evolve, it’s just great!
Without this love of games, I would no longer be here to offer you unique fun nuggets that suit you...
The playful world shines and enriches us with unique and timeless moments every day and that's why I decided to do what I do, play and make you play!

Verdon Gorge
The Verdon gorges, Verdon canyon or Grand Canyon are a set of gorges in France located in Provence, between the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and the Var.
Dug out by the Verdon in the middle of its course, they separate the Castellane Prealps to the south from the Digne Prealps to the north, forming a narrow valley 25 kilometers long and reaching up to 700 meters deep.
Very quickly, the Verdon is enclosed between reliefs which exceed 1,500 meters in altitude while the bed of the river is at an altitude of 630 meters upstream and 510 meters downstream.
Its narrowness and depth - from 250 to 700 meters deep by 6 to 100 meters wide in the bed of the river and 200 to 1,500 meters wide from one slope to the other at the top of the gorges - have made the international reputation of the canyon.

I have never been afraid of discovering new people, because I believe that we all have something to discover and learn from each other…
During the outdoor events, for example, I had the great experience of meeting extraordinary people through their open-mindedness and their joy of living!
I think in particular of my Sereno players, with whom I enjoy chatting and joking while we play.
I also think of the Fada team, teamalia, Adamo, bossnlite and all those that I cannot name but who remain in my memory and my daily life for my greatest pleasure. ;)
Thank you to those who also went a long way with me, Mac Donald de Saint Romain, Mistigri, the Ludovores, Ludica Romana, and who fortunately continued to progress in their own way. :)
I find that we discover even more about the people we meet through board games.
The game remains quite revealing of characters, just as much as a good conversation, as shared music or books...
So I am very happy on a daily basis to have found and continue to meet strangers who have often become acquaintances, friends quite often and always great encounters!

The Matterhorn is, with its altitude of 4,478 meters, the 12th highest peak in the Alps. It is located on the Italian-Swiss border, between the canton of Valais and the Aosta Valley.
The Matterhorn is the best-known mountain in Switzerland, particularly for the pyramidal appearance it offers from the town of Zermatt, in the German-speaking part of the canton of Valais.
His image is regularly used for the logos of brands such as Toblerone or Ricola.
The Matterhorn has two distinct peaks at the ends of a 100m rocky ridgeline which marks the border and watershed between Switzerland and Italy.
If the Matterhorn is the highest point of Valtournenche in the south, it is exceeded in the north by four summits which surround it: the Weisshorn (4,506 m), the Dom des Mischabel (4,545 m), Monte Rosa (4,634 m ) and the Liskamm (4,527 m).
Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !
Welcome to a new opus of “JJV Offs”!
“When there is room in the heart, there is room in the house. »
I am always keen to introduce you to the world of board games, because we share many convivial moments there.
And then, as I always say, the more we play games, the more we laugh. ;)
Having unique conversations and moments around board games with you is as good a time for me as it is for you.
Offering you classic games to the most original is also a way for me to open up as you open up to me.
Games have held a special place in my heart since I was little. From my first battle at my grandparents' house to all our daily active games, I never tire of playing and even more so with you!
My favorite board game is sharing it with you in Vaison and elsewhere. My favorite roll of the dice is opening the store. My favorite pawns are the ones that I install and move with you in the heart of the store and outside on a daily basis.
There is room in my heart, like in the store, for beautiful future moments with you! ;)
I look forward to sharing new discussions and games around board games, because these moments teach us a lot about each other.
I am therefore keen to continue to offer you the most beautiful things about the gaming world, its diversity of games and its conviviality.
I plan to stay in the game to continue the game with you! Let's play ;)
Good day and good game ;)

“Prudence does not prevent all misfortunes, but lack of prudence never fails to attract them. »
With the covid crisis we have all seen our situations weakened…
It was then necessary to develop other strategies to continue to keep businesses running.
Within the store, as soon as we knew that by disinfecting we could continue to sell even online and by takeaway, I immediately relaunched sales on the site by following the necessary actions for the safety of my customers and Click and Collect for my customers in Vaison and the surrounding area.
At the same time, to continue to offer you supports and continue this link around the games that we have, I have increased the publications on social networks.
I couldn't see myself waiting for time to pass and seeing if the store would hold up if I sat idly by waiting for the crisis to pass.
So I took matters into my own hands by offering you advice by telephone, email and social networks to find the fun nuggets which I hope will help bring you some happy moments with family and friends.
After a normal games festival in 2020, we had to adapt to this crisis and its consequences on our everyday lives.
Games were “non-essential”, like many other areas, and the empty store all day is what weighed on me the most during this crisis regarding my store…
I was very happy to be able to find you, even masked, at the store and at outdoor events.
Moreover, covid has made outdoor events much more attractive than in-store events. It’s completely understandable after what we’ve been through…
I had carefully planned what I needed to survive the crisis, which allowed me to cope and continue to share my passion for board games with you.
And then, I was lucky (and I still am) to have a golden clientele like you, who continued and continues to believe in my store.
So thank you all!
Good day and good game ;)

Lake Bled
Lake Bled is a lake of glacial origin in Slovenia.
Located in the Upper Carniola region 55 kilometers northwest of the center of the capital Ljubljana, on the eastern edge of the Julian Alps.
The lake lies at the foot of the Pokljuka plateau near the outlet of the Bohinj valley, at an altitude of 475 meters.
Its banks are extensively developed: it is bordered to the east by the health resort of Bled, and its medieval castle (11th century) which dominates the lake at the top of a 130 meter cliff.
The lake is small, 2,120 meters long by 1,380 meters wide at most, for an area of 145 hectares.
The water temperature is mild, averaging 25°C in summer. With a maximum depth of 30 meters, it encircles the country's only island, the island of Bled.
Typical boats (pletne) which look like gondolas allow you to reach the islet.
The lake has been the scene of world rowing championships on several occasions (1966, 1979, 1989 and 2011).
