Aix-en-Provence, France

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 3 more

A thousand fountains, plane-tree avenues and Cézanne's light — Aix turns strolling into an art form, and now into a sport.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Aix-en-Provence on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Cross the Place des Prêcheurs, stage of markets and dramas
• Admire the Place d'Albertas, a baroque courtyard frozen in time
• Unravel the Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur, built across eight centuries

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English, French, and Italian.

Provence at its most elegant — bring your sharpest wits.

What to expect

Starting at 44 Bis Rue Mignet, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and slip into the old town's honey-coloured lanes. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Place des Prêcheurs opens proceedings, its market-square bustle hiding centuries of sermons, trials and spectacles that riddles are happy to revisit.

The Place d'Albertas follows like a stage set — a perfect baroque square built by a marquis so his view would match his ambitions. The photo task takes care of itself.

Then the Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur closes the route, a building that grew ring by ring from Roman baptistery to Gothic nave.

Around two hours beneath the plane trees, fountain stops encouraged. The leaderboard pours out the results — chilled, like everything in Aix.
