French Tarot

To begin your reading, focus first before asking your question. Then click the deck of cards shown at the bottom.

France is the homeland of cartomancy: nowhere was the art of reading cards cultivated like in the Parisian salons of the 18th and 19th centuries, from Etteilla to Mademoiselle Lenormand. The French tarot stands in that tradition — a large deck of 64 cards with that very French mixture of elegance and bluntness.

The consultation follows the salon ritual in its simplest form: collect yourself, ask your question in silence and touch the pack. The drawn card answers with its handed-down meaning — now gallant, now merciless, always with style.

Sixty-four cards mean a wide range of answers, from the love message to the warning. A deck for those who prefer the singular to the familiar.
