Tèrra Aventura Geocaching made in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

When you’re on holidays, keeping your children busy and happy without overspending isn’t always simple! So when my wife and I heard of the Terra Aventura treasure hunt in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, we were delighted!

enfants, terra aventura, geocaching nouvelle-aquitaine

We had never tried geocaching and I was a bit weary at the idea of dealing with GPS coordinates… Luckily enough, we found out that there is a free smartphone application (available in English)

Once I had downloaded the app on my phone, we were ready to go! There are over 300 caches in the entire Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and I was quite happy to see there were several right by our holiday residence!

Obviously, my children were ecstatic at being allowed to manage my Smartphone, and the forest quest we selected was perfect for the hot weather on this particular day! Step by step, the app guided us to each different point of interest and riddle. Each of our answers brought us closer to the treasure! My family and I had come to the area several times in the past few years but never suspected there were such gorgeous back roads! The region’s heritage is incredibly rich and quite fascinating !

Last riddle… and the GPS coordinates turn to green! Yay! We answered each riddle correctly! Suddenly, the treasure’s location appears on the map! Everyone has great fun searching for the Terra Aventura container and suddenly… « Over here! I found it ! »

In the container, there are collectible badges called « Poï’z » (Points Of Interest). We each take one and proudly pin it on our t-shirts ! « When can we do another cache, Mum ? »… Victory ! An outdoor activity that costs absolutely nothing, and that the entire family enjoys !

Château Champarel

The vineyard is located at the top of Pécharmant hill, oriented south. Tiny vine, with a view of Dordogne valley and Monbazillac hill. The land and vinification mixed together give this beautiful creation of an intense dark red wine with aromas of truffles, blackcurrants, and blackberries. This intensity and generosity underline a tannic structure that can age easily.

Domaine des Costes

The Domaine des Costes’s name refers to the old French for “hillsides” (coteaux). It is located in Bergerac, one of the four towns producing Pécharmant appellation wines.



Since 1992, the vineyard is being cared of very carefully: replantation, poor yield, sustainable growing of vine, managing soils without weed killer.



Since 2003, the vine is worked in organic agriculture in an environmental way and in order to let the nature do its thing. We produce round, elegant and intense Pécharmant wines that you can keep for years. The rosé has delicate aromas.

Biscottes et Biscuits - La Chantéracoise

La Chanteracoise is considered to be the last traditional biscotti maker in France. Historically based in the heart of the Périgord Blanc region, in the small village of St Germain du Salembre, it produces a wide range of rusks, toasts and croutons, and has preserved the authentic know-how of the biscuit-makers of the 1950s. Its attention to the origin and quality of the raw materials used in the manufacture of its products contribute to its desire to be distributed exclusively in delicatessens, cooperative shops and organic shops.



Since 2015, La Chanteracoise has taken over the Billeau brothers' biscuit factory and expanded its range to include croquants and palets gourmands.
