Saint Jean de Luz Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

3.7(3)2 hFree cancellationBy Explorial

About this activity

A French king got married here in 1660 and immediately had the church door bricked up — this town has been surprising people ever since.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Saint-Jean-de-Luz's old quarter on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow clues to the Maison Louis XIV, Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, and Promenade Jacques Thibaud — three landmarks that pack more history than the town's size suggests

• Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure

• Works for families, couples, and friend groups; photo challenges along the seafront add a fun competitive edge

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

The royal wedding door is still bricked shut — your phone knows why.
