Gone are the days when picking up pretty pebbles or singing a song was enough to get your children or grandchildren to follow you on your walks? Nowadays, you have to be even more ingenious to get them off the couch and looking up from their smartphones? So, smartphone or GPS in hand, set off on 8 geocaching treasure hunts. It’s THE game that gets kids going without even realizing it!

Balade randonnée en familleSimply print out a route map and download a GPS trekking application onto your smartphone. Then enter the GPS coordinates of the starting point, and as a family, answer the various riddles that will help you reach your destination – and, above all, find the treasure!
Thanks to the use of smartphones, riddles to solve and treasure to find, children don’t realize how much time they spend walking. They’re not going for a walk, they’re going to hunt for treasure, and that makes all the difference! Add to this the fact that there are 12 badges featuring the Léguer valley’s emblematic animals to collect, and 12 opportunities for outings!
The Vallée du Léguer is home to countless unusual treasures, remarkable trees, preserved and original natural treasures… Even if you’re a native Trégorrois, you’ll discover some totally unsuspected corners along the side roads!
The kids are all too proud to show the adults how the GPS works, while parents and grandparents let themselves be guided, slipping in a few personal anecdotes and tips for solving the riddles from time to time.
You don’t need any theoretical knowledge to solve the riddles, just observe what’s around you! All in all, a great way to focus on the present moment, while learning about local history and the riches of nature!
To find your way around our treasure hunts with your smartphone, you can download GPS navigation apps like Locus Map for Android.
