Vayres
Treasure hunt
in the heart of Château de Vayres
Children are invited to “zigzag the park among the witches!” in an estate once belonging to King Henri IV. An hour’s worth of fun spent seeking a hidden series of riddles (2 levels of difficulty) and finding the correct answers to the questions they pose. Look out, though – the witches are on the watch all along the way! You have to save the young princes, find their house and imprison the witches…
4-years-olds upwards (with parents’ help for 4 to 6 year-olds).
