The experience

About this quest

Embark on a geographical and historical journey through Annot in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region of France. 

You will explore the Old Town on a guided tour that includes easy challenges and questions about your surroundings. 

You will learn interesting facts, experience the atmosphere, glimpse the Middle Ages, and have fun! The tour concludes with a brief excursion to the outskirts of the village on the opposite side of the river. 

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with school-age children and history-curious couples staying in the upper Verdon can take an easy-paced 1.3 km walk through Annot's medieval lanes, past the church and the Lavoir du Bàrri, then across the Vaïre to the Templar Chapel, solving light puzzles on the way. Anyone hoping to quiz a live guide about the village's legends, or wanting shelter on a wet day, should pick something else.
