Description
'Mission Aigues-Mortes' is a private guided visit designed for families, where children are not mere spectators: they lead the investigation!
Their mission? To discover numbers that have been hidden in the town for 800 years. To do so, they will have to observe, count, search, solve riddles… and look up from their phones!
The tour is conducted with only your family, so that each child can fully benefit from the guide's attention and enjoy their own adventure.
The tour starts at the Porte de la Gardette, continues along the Tour de Constance and the ramparts, reveals the signs engraved in the stone by medieval stonemasons, and heads to the edge of the salt marshes where the flamingos feed (did you know that they are born gray?) before returning to Place Saint Louis, by the statue of the King.
Your guide, Dimitri Moulins, father of a 10-year-old, is the author of two books on the secrets of Aigues-Mortes and two activity and adventure books for children.
He engages children with lively and humorous stories, without ever neglecting parents or teenagers, who also discover a wealth of surprising things.
Each child will take home their 'Le Défi des Remparts' adventure booklet to keep, along with their crayons! And the adventure continues even at home, at the hotel, at the campsite or at the restaurant: more puzzles and the final decoding of the King's Code await the family on their return.
The little ones aren't left out. Even though they participate free of charge, they go home with the activity booklet 'The Little Guardian of Aigues-Mortes' and their little box of crayons.
Teens also receive their own souvenir book, provided by the guide-author.
