Activities

Escape game

Participants will take part in a custom-designed outdoor escape game through the heart of Bordeaux, created by local company Digital Escapade. Teams will explore iconic landmarks; including the Grand Théâtre, the Place des Quinconces, and the famous miroir d'eau at the Place de la Bourse; solving puzzles and following clues that weave together the history and architecture of the city. Each participant will receive a guide booklet and mini-map of the area. The adventure is designed to be fully self-guided, allowing teams to discover Bordeaux at their own pace while competing to crack the enigma.

Bassin des Lumières

Participants will have the opportunity of visiting the Bassins des Lumières, a digital art centre set inside a former World War II submarine base in Bordeaux. Two exhibitions will be running: Frida Kahlo, with her iconic paintings projected across the walls and water of the basins, and The Little Prince.

Cruise on the Garonne

Participants will also get to see Bordeaux from the water, with a guided 90-minute cruise along the Garonne on board the Sirius, an electric boat run by Les Bateaux Bordelais. Departing from the Ponton d'Honneur, right in the heart of the city, the cruise passes the UNESCO-listed stone façades, the Pont de Pierre, the Pont Chaban-Delmas, and the Cité du Vin, all seen from the river. A canelé (the iconic Bordeaux pastry) will be served on board.

Pottery Workshop

Luc Richard is a sculptor from the Bordeaux area who works with monumental outdoor installations. Participants will spend time learning the basics of pottery. No prior experience needed.
