Activity Description
Discover Arcachon in a whole new way with "The Great Arcachon Escape" (La Grande Évasion d'Arcachon)—a smartphone-based scavenger hunt that lets you explore at your own pace, without a guide or a fixed group.
Over the course of approximately 2.5 hours (covering 3.6 km with 51 minutes of walking time), you will explore the town and the "Winter Town" (Ville d'Hiver) by solving puzzles designed for everyone to enjoy. Each stage features a video that immerses you in the history and heritage of Arcachon.

✅ 10 diverse puzzles involving observation, logic, and fun anecdotes
✅ No app download required—all you need is a smartphone
✅ The game is in French, with videos featuring subtitles in German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, and Russian
✅ Play using multiple phones simultaneously, or work together as a team on a single device
