Wild animal treasure hunt

About this tour

Track down wildlife clues across preserved French countryside on this interactive treasure hunt. Working in teams, you'll search for signs left by local mammals and birds—weasels, herons, badgers, wagtails and more—following printed guides either on foot or by bike. The 2-hour quest culminates in opening a chest filled with surprises. Multiple difficulty circuits suit all ages and fitness levels, with routes customised to your group's needs.

What to expect

You'll receive laminated identification cards, binoculars and a map marking zones where particular species leave evidence. Teams work together decoding what badger burrows, fox scat and heron nesting sites reveal about local wildlife. The pace is leisurely—expect to stop frequently, crouch down to examine ground detail, and scan trees and shrubland. Guides point out what you'd otherwise miss. Once you've ticked off enough sightings, you'll navigate to the treasure location. The final reveal is kept secret, but past groups report genuine excitement at the find.

Good to know

Bring sturdy walking shoes or arrange bike hire separately. Weather-appropriate layers are essential; reserves offer no shelter. Children under five travel in prams without issue. Routes are fully accessible for wheelchair users. All surfaces are firm underfoot. The experience works year-round, though spring and autumn offer best wildlife activity.
