Monopoly Arles

The world’s most iconic and best loved board game is coming to Arles!

Arles is one of France’s most remarkable cultural destinations with a rich history shaped by Roman culture and architecture, fine Provençal traditions, artistic heritage typified by Vincent van Gogh, nationally-renowned photographic status, contemporary creativity, and of course the wild and beautiful landscapes of the Camargue, one of the true treasures of France.

Now, this extraordinary story is set to be celebrated through the creation of a special edition of the world’s most iconic board game: MONOPOLY.

Alpine Editions is working closely with the City of Arles and the Office de Tourisme Arles Camargue to ensure that Monopoly Arles captures the essence of Arles and its unique identity.

From the Amphitheatre and Ancient Theatre to the Alyscamps, Saint-Trophime, the city’s museums, festivals, traditions and natural heritage, MONOPOLY Arles will take locals and tourists alike on a playful journey through one of Europe’s most fascinating historic cities.

MONOPOLY Arles is officially in development and is planned for release in April 2027.

Pre-orders are open now !

Discover Arles — square by square

The classic and familiar Monopoly gameplay remains unchanged, but streets, properties, stations and cards are reimagined using real places, landmarks, institutions and local stories from Arles.

Planned features include, among others:

• Iconic monuments such as the Amphitheatre, the Ancient Theatre, the Alyscamps and Saint-Trophime
• Cultural institutions, museums and places of learning that help define Arles today
• Major events and celebrations including the Rencontres d’Arles, the Feria and other festivals
• The landscapes, wildlife and traditions of the Camargue
• Qualifying local businesses, artisans, hotels, restaurants and organisations that contribute to the life of the city, support livelihoods of local people and help sustain the Arles community.

The result will be a lovingly designed portrait of Arles painted using an array of customised board squares, imagery, personalised chance and community chest cards which will take players on a journey through history, culture and everyday life.

A game for everyone who loves Arles

Whether you live in Arles, grew up here, visit for its festivals, return each year for the Feria, come for photography, art, heritage, nature, or simply hold special memories of the city, MONOPOLY Arles will be a unique collector’s item and a celebration of local pride.

This edition will capture the unmistakable character of Arles — historic, creative, vibrant and deeply rooted in Provençal and Camargue traditions.

As a tribute to the city and its surrounding territory, MONOPOLY Arles will be:

• An ideal gift for families, friends, employees and clients
• A distinctive souvenir of Arles and the Camargue
• A collector’s item for MONOPOLY enthusiasts
• Perfect for family gatherings and relaxed game nights
• A lasting celebration of one of France’s great cultural cities
  

Local businesses: become part of MONOPOLY Arles

MONOPOLY Arles is designed to reflect the city in all its richness and diversity, and this naturally includes the local businesses, institutions and organisations that help make Arles what it is today.

For this reason, a limited number of sponsorship placements are available.

These placements allow companies and organisations to become a permanent part of the game, for example through:

• A dedicated space on the game board

• A custom-designed Chance or Community Chest card

• Placement of the company logo on the MONOPOLY box

• Promotional activity linked to the launch of the game

Once the design is finalised, MONOPOLY Arles will be reprinted repeatedly for many years to come.

And remember: a MONOPOLY game is never thrown away. It is played, shared, passed on and enjoyed across generations.

This gives participating brands long-term visibility across thousands of playing sessions and countless hours of attention; with no ongoing costs for advertising, content production or campaign activation. The MONOPOLY brand will do all of that work for you.

As the number of available placements is strictly limited, we recommend getting in touch early to avoid disappointment.
