Les Chasses au Trésor: malediction, mysteries and magic cards...
Discover the region in a fun way and visit unusual or unmissable places thanks to a treasure hunt in the form of a box containing a magic card, mirror and / or other surprising clues. At the end of your adventure, a treasure awaits you... Be careful though: the treasure hunt makes you addicted! If you do one there is a good chance you will want to do more! We will have warned you...
How it works ? It's very simple !
Buy a “treasure hunters” box in one of the points of sale (often the town's tourist office). One box is sufficient for a family of 3/4 people or for a group of friends. Once the box in hand, you are in total autonomy. Inside the box are all the necessary items to complete your adventure.
Our course last on average 1h30 but you are free to do it at your own pace. At the end of the adventure, remember to return to the tourist office (pay attention to the schedules) to collect your reward: the one, the real, the only treasure hunter badge to collect. |

The Treasure of the Three Kings
What to do in Carcassonne? I would even say more what to do in la Cité of Carcassonne? A treasure hunt, of course! And here is the story of which you will be the hero:
The Treasure of the Three Kings is so called, because it was in turn the property of 3 great kings. Originally stored in the cellars of King Solomon's temple, it became the property of Emperor Titus in AD 70 when Jerusalem was captured.
Titus brought back to Rome this treasure consisting of tons of gold, silver and sacred objects like the Ark of the Covenant. These riches remained in Rome for 340 years. Indeed in 410, Alaric 1st king of the Visigoths took Rome, plundered it and in turn seized this famous treasure. This king died soon after and the Visigoths settled in our region. In 507 the Franks beat the Visigoths and the latter hide the treasure in the city of Carcassonne. This is where we lose track, some claim it is still there...
Stroll in la Cité through the alleys. Duration of the route: 1hour, 1.2kms

The Medieval city of Carcassonne, 'La Cité'...
Carcassonne, la Bastide Saint-Louis
Canal du Midi
| |
The Corbières is one of the wildest areas of France with one of the lowest population densities. It is picturesque with wine growing areas alternating with garigue and mountainous countryside. It is located mainly in the Aude département and partly in the Pyrénées-Orientales département. The River Aude borders the Corbières to the west and north. To the south is the River Agly and to the east the the Mediterranean Sea. The name Corbières comes from "cor" a pre-Celtic word meaning "rock" and "berre" from the River Berre which runs through Durban. The eastern part of the Corbières with its Etangs, borders the the Mediterranean Sea and is called the Corbières maritimes. It has its own distinctive climate and characteristic vegetation known as thermomediterranean vegetation...

The Minervois is one of the most ancient vineyards of the Mediterranean region. Indeed, its land was chosen by the Romans as providing ideal conditions for the first vines they planted in Languedoc Roussillon. Its name comes from the ancient city of Minerve, a stronghold built by the Romans and dedicated to the goddess Minerva. Since that time, many amphora shards and vestiges of cellars have been discovered, testimony to the importance of this vineyard. The region, austere in winter and redolent with sunshine in summer, has survived over the centuries its invasions by barbarians, Arabs and Christians. The essence of Minervois la Livinière, as in so many Midi appellations, is the blend; a marriage of different grape varieties that adds subtle nuance of flavour to the whole. Natural alcohol level must reach a minimum of 12% without enrichment (so no chaptalisation) and maximum yield is a modest 45 hl/ha. Ageing may be in barrel or vat, and unlike basic Minervois, the wine must be bottled at source, so cannot be sent off to a négociant elsewhere in France...
