Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Saint-Étienne
To create a treasure hunt in Saint-Étienne, the places are already there: Grand'Église, Cathédrale Saint-Charles-Borromée, Kiosque à musique de Marengo. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Saint-Étienne, the quest is still to be written
Here is what it could look like: the stops already exist in the city, the riddles do not yet.

Saint-Étienne is a city of relief and industry, where streets run down to a centre in a valley. The Grand'Église and the Saint-Charles-Borromée cathedral are its religious landmarks; the Marengo bandstand, the palais Mimard and the Grand Cercle building are its civic ones. Design is a hallmark of the city, with its dedicated cité. A trail game here mixes everyday architecture and large-scale urban planning. Saint-Étienne has no quest yet, and the first person to create one will show the city to others with fresh eyes.
Three possible quests in Saint-Étienne
Marengo bandstand with the family
An easy trail around the Marengo bandstand and its surroundings: children spot shapes, colours and ornaments, then head to the neighbouring streets for the last riddle.
Grand'Église and cathedral, two faces
A heritage circuit between the Grand'Église and the Saint-Charles-Borromée cathedral. Teams compare two eras, two styles, and solve riddles on the façades.
Urban design, a company challenge
For a group of colleagues, a trail game on the theme of design: palais Mimard, Le Grand Cercle building, Cité du design, with riddles about shapes and lines. A tourist office or a design school could make it a teaching tool.
Saint-Étienne needs a quest. Who will launch it?
