Add to my calendar

To become a true Santa's elf, apprentice elves must go to the Academy to learn everything about reindeer, sleighs, chimneys, and presents! With Gassinelfe, will you manage to complete every step to join the team?
Designed as an immersive and engaging quest, this treasure hunt plunges young and old into the magic of the festive season while revealing the local heritage and Provencal traditions. Wandering through picturesque alleyways and iconic village spots, players share a warm, self-guided adventure together.

Throughout the route, young apprentices must complete 12 training stages testing varied skills: observation, logic, magical calculations, agility...

The route offers riddles adapted for both younger children (Pitchouns aged 3 to 6) and older ones (ages 7 to 12).

This family activity is open to all children accompanied by an adult. A game booklet is available free of charge at the tourist office. The game is played independently in the village's alleys.

For the valiant elves who return to the office with all the answers, an apprentice elf certificate will be awarded!
