Floral Games were any of a series of historically related poetry contests with floral prizes. In Occitan, their original language, and Catalan they are known as Jocs florals (Catalan: [ˈʒɔks fluˈɾals], Valencian: [ˈdʒɔks floˈɾals]; modern Occitan: Jòcs florals [ˈdʒɔks fluˈɾals] or floraus [fluˈɾaws]).[a] In French, they became the Jeux floraux (pronounced [ʒø flɔʁo]), and in Basque Lore jokoak (pronounced [loɾe jokoak]). The original contests may have been inspired by the Roman Floralia (Ludi Floreales) held in honour of Flora.
