Ile-et-Vilaine: A treasure hunt to explore Bretagne’s heritage

Geocaching is a leisure activity that fuses hiking with the thrills of exploring. A true treasure hunt where the smartphone substitutes a compass.

“A great treasure, the treasure of Korrigans, is concealed somewhere in Ille-et-Villaine. To find it, we must first reconstitute a virtual map through the discovery of 9 other treasures.

Each of them reveal the fragment of a map that, once reassembled, gives access to a last trail with mysteries to solve.

On the way, the player can win virtual trophies, collect badges on the effigy of the korrigans, and receive many great deals (free entrances, discounts, etc.)

To play, simply download the mobile application available on the App Store and on Google Play.

Don’t have a smartphone? Ask for a GPS available for rent in partner tourism offices and directly print the trail maps from the website,” explains Yolaine Provost-Gautier of the CDT Haute Bretagne Ille-et-Vilaine.
