Also note the “Simultaneous King René Bridge Tournament”. It is an event organized in France in homage to René d'Anjou, known as King René. This is a bridge tournament where several clubs or players participate simultaneously in the same competition, with results compared on a national scale.
This king, known as the “good king René” was a 15th century prince, king of Naples and count of Provence. He was also a patron of arts and culture and had a great passion for card games. This tradition of linking a bridge event to his name is therefore a way of paying tribute to his love of games and competition.
The Simultaneous du Roi René are bridge tournaments organized regularly, offering players the opportunity to compete against a wide range of participants while benefiting from educational information commented by experts. These tournaments take place at specific frequencies, often monthly, depending on the participating clubs. As for Graulhet, it offers these simultaneous events on the last Wednesday of each month at 2 p.m. at the same time as around thirty clubs in France. Information on 06 75 03 61 49.
