On the programme

Solve the case of the Pierced Basket - now in English! 

We are on the trail of a dangerous crook! Help us to find the place where he is hiding. We've intercepted documents from him that may provide the crucial information.

Explore the Panier district differently.

Our concept mixes a walk, a historical visit and of course the resolution of the investigation in which you participate.

Discover this new concept of "improved" strolls: The route lasts about 2h15. You will discover picturesque places of the city, learn more about its history and of course solve the riddles that will be asked to you.

Accessible to everyone. If you are competitive, try to set a time record or do it at your own pace with your family. The puzzles are more accessible than in our rooms and there are no time limits.

How does the treasure hunt work?

You start at the Tourist Office. You will be given an investigator's "kit" containing various objects (exhibits).

This kit is offered and contains a notebook that will guide you through the course in the Panier district. With the booklet as a guide, hunt the suspect in the city. 17 enigmas are to be solved while discovering the Phocaean city.

You are greeted at the beginning and at the end. You are autonomous during the course, so you can move at the pace you want. The riddles are only about the facades / monuments encountered along the way. At the end of the walk, with enough answers to the riddles, you will be able to identify with certainty the culprit!

Good luck, keep your eyes open!

Utile pour les infos historiques (seulement)

Commenté le 24/03/2026

Les sujets sont intéressants et variés et le cheminement géographique est réussi. MAIS il y a un vrai problème de conception : la plupart des énigmes ne sont pas compréhensibles même pour 5 cerveaux adultes et avec les indices, voire même avec la réponse. Cela gache qd mm largement l'aspect ludique et nous avons fini par lacher et ne plus lire que les notions historiques/culturelles. Pas vraiment recommandé en tant que tel, non... Dommage.

Nous avons aimé découvrir des lieux que nous n’aurions pas vu autrement , tout en nous amusant. On le fait à notre rythme et nous avons déjeuné sur le parcours. Questions parfois un peu compliquées mais une aide nous permet de nous faire aider si besoin. Nous recommandons
