Step into the heart of Strasbourg’s most enchanting neighbourhood with this self-guided scavenger hunt through La Petite France. Armed with nothing but your smartphone and your curiosity, you will wander cobblestoned lanes, cross historic bridges, and uncover stories that most visitors walk straight past. An old family notebook holds the thread of the adventure: each clue leads you deeper into a world of half-timbered houses, hidden courtyards, and waterside secrets.
From the Place Saint-Thomas to the iconic Ponts Couverts, from the quiet banks of the Quai de la Bruche to the timber-framed Tanners’ House on Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes, every stop reveals a new facet of this UNESCO-listed quarter. You will piece together riddles, answer quizzes, and spot architectural details that have survived five centuries of history.
This is not a guided tour. There is no schedule, no group to follow. You play at your own pace, as a team of 2 to 5, and the route adapts to your rhythm. Whether you are exploring Strasbourg for the first time or rediscovering a city you thought you knew, the Hidden Legacy of La Petite France turns every street corner into a puzzle and every bridge into a chapter.
Perfect for couples, friends, families, or team outings, the game takes roughly 90 minutes of walking and thinking. Book your session, show up at the starting point, and let Strasbourg surprise you.

Strasbourg becomes your playground

Strasbourg is full of surprises. Behind the postcard of half-timbered houses and peaceful canals lies a city shaped by two thousand years of history. Petite France, the former tanners and millers quarter, still carries the traces of those who built its cobbled streets, stone bridges and flower-adorned facades. This is where our riddles await you: from rue des Cordonniers to the Ponts Couverts, from Quai de la Petite France to the Maison des Tanneurs, every corner of the neighbourhood becomes a clue to decipher.
Form your team and explore at your own pace. No stressful timer, no guide to follow: just your smartphone, your observation skills and a good dose of curiosity. Perfect for an afternoon with friends, a family outing, a hen/stag party or a team building that beats the meeting room.
