The Kraken's treasure!
Presentation
The school holidays have started and the children already don't know what to do. To get an idea of what to do with the family, I contacted the Tourist Office of Frontignan. Good news, a new treasure hunt has just been inaugurated on the port: the Kraken's secret chest! The name sounds good and I feel that it will amuse young and old.
It's the big day, see you at 10am at the Tourist Office of Frontignan-Plage. The children are eager to discover this new game and of course, to solve the riddles!
The tourist advisor, Marion, gives us a booklet of riddles with a map and a mysterious bag full of objects to help us in our adventure, then explains the story: "The Kraken's chest would have been found off Frontignan. You have to decipher the writings following the clues and find the seven monsters to discover the treasure".
The children are curious and very motivated. We are told that the treasure hunt takes about 1 hour for 2km around the port, the ponds and the beach. We are ready, with trainers on our feet and a cap on our head, let's go for the adventure!

The walk is quite nice. Sophie admires the beautiful boats lined up on the port while Lucas scans the smallest bench, tree or other in search of clues. I won't tell you the answers of course, nor the location of the riddles, because what is most appreciated is the search! In any case, we didn't see the hour pass and the hiding places are sometimes well hidden which offers some rather funny scenes thanks to the overflowing imagination of the children to find them.
Back at the Office with our booklet filled, we are ready to open the chest and discover the famous treasure! 3 - 2 - 1, the imposing chest opens under the amused eyes of Lucas and Sophie. Mission accomplished Moussaillons! You have earned a small gift from Marion as a souvenir of this adventure in Frontignan. Next time, we'll try to solve the riddles in the case in the town centre!
