The experience

About this quest

You are a medieval history student, newly arrived in Bordeaux on an exchange year, when a mysterious note appears in your dorm room drawer: Someone is after its heart. Can you find the evil doer?

Follow the clues through the streets of old Bordeaux, from the Monument aux Girondins in Place des Quinconces to the Grand Theatre, Notre-Dame church, the old city gates, and the medieval La Grosse Cloche.

Along the way, a goddess will speak to you from her pedestal, an angel will guide your steps, and a leopard will choose your side.

This walking quest takes in the finest architecture of Port de la Lune, the UNESCO-listed historic centre of Bordeaux, while pulling you into a story of theft, loyalty, and what a city truly holds at its heart.

Will you rise to the challenge and protect Bordeaux's legacy?
