Le Tarot de Marseille
This deck is in Marseille style. Majors and courts are illustrated, but pips are not. The colors are predominately blue, red, yellow and black. Other colors (brown, green and gray) are used quite sparingly. Titles are in French. Suits are baton (wands), coupe (cups), epee (swords) and deniers (pentacles). Court cards are roy (king), reyne (queen), cavalier (knight) and valet (page).
The cards measure about 2.5 by 4.25 inches and handle well. They are the thickness of good playing cards. I got this deck second hand, and have used it a fair amount. They have held up very well, and I expect they will continue to do so.
I recommend this deck for collectors and for those who like the Marseille style. It may be difficult for beginners because the pips are not illustrated and because the titles are in French.
