Outdoor Escape Game

Behind a curtain of centuries-old oaks, nestled out of sight in the hollow of a magnificent vine-lined valley, lies the ancient Abbey of Fontdouce: formal gardens, a collection of Gothic and Romanesque rooms built there 900 years ago, all forming a haven of peace, far from the tumult and mad rush of today’s world…

But the tranquility inspired by this place has sometimes been disturbed, and tragically so…

Several
scenarios

You have 2 hours, and not a minute more, to solve the riddles left by the last member of the Knights Templar, in order to find out what he hid before his murder at Fontdouce. But beware, treasure hunters are also on the trail…

An ideal activity for families and friends, for an EVJF or an EVG; accessible to 15-year-olds and over.

Don’t forget to book! Departure is from the Fontdouce Abbey reception.

A mysterious testament, in which a monk bequeaths a dagger of great importance, was recently discovered at Fontdouce. In 2 hours, solve the riddles left behind to discover the identity of the monk and the dagger’s former owner.

An ideal activity for families and friends, for an EVJF or an EVG, for ages 15 and up.

Don’t forget to book! Departure is from the Fontdouce Abbey reception.

In a place cut off from the world

Fontdouce is a valley off the beaten track, appreciated by all for its peace and beauty, and crossed by the stream that gives it its name. In the hollow of this valley, the Abbey of Fontdouce opens its doors to allow you, behind its thick walls, to take time for reflection and to solve enigmas that can sometimes be a little tricky!

An intriguing story

A radiant community, a shining monument, famous people … and disturbing facts and objects.

How is this possible in such a peaceful place? Who could be behind such a situation?

Two scenarios invite you to scour the site to uncover mysterious and inexplicable events!

These two scenarios can be offered to groups of up to 40 people, who then divide up into teams to take part in the competition.

An exceptional discovery

Both scenarios take place in the grounds of Fontdouce Abbey, in the heart of a historic setting where Romanesque art in its most austere expression stands side by side with a magnificent expression of Gothic art, all set in a vast 19th-century farm building. It’s an extraordinary site that takes you on a journey through 900 years of history.

An incredible day. We were able to picnic on site, with several tables available. There’s a snack bar in the grounds. A wonderful, peaceful setting in the heart of nature, close to the pretty Fontdouce abbey. We’ll be back without hesitation. And a big thank you to all the team on site, each one more kind than the last! All smiling, attentive and responsive. It was a faultless experience 😊 Well done!

A very well-designed adventure park with numerous courses, a refreshment bar at very reasonable prices and a very well thought-out park for accompanying adults (paths all along the courses, picnic tables in the shade and an abbey to visit (for a fee)).
