The treasure hunt for children

From April 5 to May 5, 2025, Bandol Tourist Office.

Bob, Kevin, Stuart, Jerry, Dave and Tim, these strange yellow weirdos dressed in blue overalls and more commonly called Minions, join forces with the Youth Municipal Council and at the Bandol Tourist Office for a treasure hunt like no other…

Activity imagined by the children of Bandol, your toddlers will have to, if they accept it, answer several riddles who will come across their path. As usual, everything will start on Allées Alfred Vivien, at the reception of our office. From here, you can recover a mysterious route with stops all over the city. At each meeting point, a question and a punch will await them. They will then have to find the correct answer and punch their brochure to reveal the next riddle location. And so on until the ultimate riddle...

🎁 The key for all the budding detectives who will manage to discover the secret word: candy in the image of these little characters to fill their bido ! And for the Easter weekend, a chocolate surprise will be offered to them… Bananaaaaa !

✅ Good to know : treasure hunt lasting around two hours for 4 km of research in the city.
