Playing in Parthenay
Known for its games, Parthenay readily welcomes a trail game. The medieval city overlooks the Thouet, protected by gates still standing, including the Porte Saint-Jacques and the Porte de la Citadelle. The streets are narrow, often sloping, and the riddles nestle in the stones and the shop signs. Everything is covered on foot, without cars, at each team's pace. The riddles gain a naturally playful side.
The streets of the medieval city are narrow and sloping: plan good shoes. If you come during the games festival, expect crowds and scout the route outside those dates.
