The Toulouse scavenger hunt starts at the Basilica of Saint-Sernin and leads to Notre-Dame du Taur and the Capitole. From the Jacobins Convent you head to the Pont Neuf over the Garonne, then to the Musée des Augustins and Saint-Étienne Cathedral, continuing via the Grand Rond garden and the university to finish at the church of Saint-Exupère.
The route covers about 3.6 km, roughly 45 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Toulouse is called the Pink City because so much of it is built of warm red brick. Saint-Sernin, one of the largest Romanesque churches in Europe, is a stop on the Way of St James and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Jacobins Convent is famous for its palm-tree vault and holds the relics of Thomas Aquinas, and the Capitole has been the seat of city government for centuries.
A game makes you look closely at carvings, signs and façades you would otherwise pass by, and the stories that follow explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop for a coffee or a snack whenever you like.
