Playing in Saintes
Here, Roman stones are not behind glass: you come across them while walking. The Arc de Germanicus stands near the Charente, the Gallo-Roman amphitheatre occupies a site a little away from the centre, and the Abbaye aux Dames recalls the Middle Ages. Between these landmarks, the old town offers streets of pale stone where every façade may hide a clue. The centre is covered on foot, which leaves time to search, compare and debate as a team.
Scout the access to the amphitheatre before the day of the game, as it lies a little away from the centre, and plan shoes suited to cobbles and paths.
Three route ideas in Saintes
On the trail of the Romans
Start from the Arc de Germanicus, follow the Charente, then reach the Gallo-Roman amphitheatre. Teams note stone details, decipher inscriptions and reconstruct the history of the ancient city from what they observe.
Family investigation around the abbey
Children look for details of façades, doors and sculpture around the Abbaye aux Dames, with simple observation riddles. Adults help read the clues without solving them for the youngest.
Evening in the lanes of the old town
A quicker version for friends or colleagues: short riddles in the old town, meeting points near the Charente and a recap over a drink on a terrace.
