Description
New for 2026: explore the town of Fontenay-le-Comte, map and compass in hand.
It all starts at the Tourist Office in Fontenay-le-Comte, where you’ll be given your kit.
Inside: 1 orienteering map, 1 town exploration map and 1 compass with a magnifying glass. Just the essentials to set off on your mission: walk, observe, cooperate. No screens here. Just you, the map and the town to explore.
Your objective is clear: to collect stamps at every point along the route. The 10 checkpoints are spread across a defined area of the historic centre. They can be visited in any order. Strategists, it’s up to you to choose your route.
