Treasure hunt and trail game in Cognac
Create an interactive GPS route in Cognac. Your participants explore maisons de cognac, vieille ville, bords de Charente and château François Ier with riddles on their phones.
Playing in Cognac
Cognac is recognised by its walls blackened by the warehouses, a trace of the angels' share escaping from the barrels. Between the trading houses, the lanes of the old town and the quays of the Charente, the walk is easy on foot. The game draws on these details of local life: gateways, shop signs, stone buildings, for a friendly outing among friends or family.
The centre is compact and flat. If you want to visit a cognac house after the game, check opening hours and book in advance, as visits are often arranged by appointment.
Three route ideas in Cognac
The town's history around the castle
Start near the castle of Francis I, then go down into the old town: gates, lanes and façades provide the answers. A heritage route open to curious people of all ages, with no prior knowledge of local history.
Along the Charente with the family
The banks of the Charente provide the guiding thread of a quiet route: riverbanks to observe, bridges to spot, short riddles for children and benches to catch one's breath.
With friends around the cognac houses
For an adult birthday, a route that passes in front of the cognac houses and their warehouses: riddles about the façades and shop signs, with a possible visit to be arranged separately.
