Arcades in Paris
Arcades are pure joy per dollar. Paris, Île-de-France has 45 mapped right now. That's 45 arcades mapped around Paris. Machine condition varies wildly between venues, so the one with the best-maintained cabinets wins regardless of size. Off-peak hours mean shorter waits on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats.
This guide covers every arcade we could verify in and around Paris (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Sim Drivers and La Tête dans les Nuages, plus BL. If an arcade's missing from Paris's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about arcades in Paris
21 of the 45 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — arcades keep long hours, so the listed times are usually good.
30 have websites listed. Worth a look for tournament nights and free-play evenings.
There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on 28 Boulevard Poissonnière, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
30 arcades list websites — worth a look for opening times and whether they run leagues or tournament nights.
The Paris arcade run
The efficient Paris arcade run strings these together: Sim Drivers, La Tête dans les Nuages on 5 Boulevard des Italiens, BL, Laser World, Eclipso, Extra Life Café on 9 Passage des Patriarches, Laser Game Evolution on 56 bis Quai des Carrières, and Le Palladium — 45 stops, one logical order. 37 more are listed below.
Arcade tips for Paris
A few things worth knowing before you work through Paris's arcades:
- Ask about tournaments at Sim Drivers. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.
- Check age policies at La Tête dans les Nuages. Some arcades are all-ages by day and 19+ at night, especially the bar-arcade hybrids. Check before bringing kids.
- End on a win. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
- Check machine maintenance. A venue that maintains its machines cares. Dead screens and sticky buttons are a review of the management.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Paris — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new arcade in Paris can take a while to appear. The 45 above are only as current as the community map. A arcade that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't list machine lineups — they change too often. What we list is the where: real venues, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 45 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Arcade listings for Paris: 45 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
