About this tour

Follow cryptic clues to uncover the dark histories of the Cathedral Notre-Dame-des-Tables, Musée Fabre, Promenade du Peyrou and hidden corners of the city. Each solved riddle reveals a forgotten tale tied to that location, building an alternate narrative of Montpellier that locals whisper about. You control the pace entirely—pause whenever you like, resume later.

What to expect
You'll work through a series of location-based puzzles using the Questo app on your phone. Each clue points you to a specific street, building or plaza where you decode a riddle; getting it right unlocks a creepy anecdote about the place. The game feeds you directions so you navigate by app alone. Expect to walk between 3-5 km depending on your route choices. Some stories centre on real historical figures and events; others blend local legend. The tone is unsettling but playful—not graphic horror.
Good to know
You'll need a smartphone with the app pre-downloaded and decent battery. Attractions mentioned (cathedral, museum) may have separate entry fees if you wish to go inside. Prams and strollers work fine on Montpellier's streets. The app works 24/7, so start in daylight and finish after dark if you dare.
