Frequently asked questions
What’s the story behind this treasure hunt?
You’re an archaeologist working for the Vatican, digging into the Cathar Crusades when you stumble on a 12th-century document pointing to a lost treasure hidden under Toulouse. The clues are broken, the map is vague, but the adventure is calling.
Who will enjoy it the most?
Couples who want a romantic twist on sightseeing, friends who like puzzles and walking, and history lovers or curious tourists wanting more than just the typical landmarks.
How much time should we plan for this?
About 71-101 minutes (so somewhere around 1 to 1.5 hours) walking ~2.5 km (~3,300 steps). Not too long, but long enough to feel like you’ve really explored.
What landmarks will we pass that make it special?
You’ll go by Cathédrale Saint-Étienne, Musée des Augustins, Hotel Assézat, and finish at Basilique Saint-Sernin. Also streets and corners with stories you don’t hear every day.
Is it good for a romantic outing?
Totally. Walking through Toulouse’s old town, solving clues together, pausing in beautiful squares—it’s a lovely way to spend time together with a bit more meaning than just dinner.
