Do you want to discover our territory in a fun way? Do your teenagers drag their feet at the idea of ​​a walk in nature? You already know the Pays des Achards but want to see it from another angle? Are you looking for an original outing idea for a birthday?

Geocaching – a new generation treasure hunt

On your marks, get set, Geocache! 

Initiated in 2000 in the United States, this game consists of using the functions of the GPS to search for "caches" hidden in the natural or urban environment. What appears to be a simple container to the uninitiated is actually a geocacher's treasure. Each box contains a “logbook”, a small register on which players who have managed to find the cache register.

The Tourist Office offers you 8 Geocaching routes on the Land of Achards. Discover it Jaunay Lake, the historical past of the district of mothe-Achard, the Birdhouses trail at Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche, the Lière Forest in Sainte-Flaive-des-Loups or Little Val Gaillard au Girouard.

Our educational booklet tells you distance, duration and number of caches for each circuit and provides you with GPS coordinates and additional clues for a successful treasure hunt. It's up to you to provide good shoes!

Excellent idea for a fun outing with family or friends in Vendée!

Did you know ?

By becoming Geocachers, you join an international community: In 2020, there were more than 3 million caches in 191 countries for a total of 7 million players around the world. There are even some in Antarctica!

Good to know : 

  • Take care of the nature that is offered to you and be careful not to climb and damage the monuments or stone walls during your treasure hunt.
  • Do you want to spice up your hunt by searching steep areas? The notions of difficulty appear in the form of stars (maximum 5) on the course table!

The Adventure Lab, the new version of Geocaching! 

Armed with your smartphone, you are guided to historical places and must solve puzzles. Observation is the key word for answering questions correctly. 

This interactive game currently promotes two municipalities in our territory:

  • Historical heritage Pickles. 1h30 course (3.3km), it is called “ If La Mothe were told to me » and includes 5 Lab Caches (puzzles) located in 5 emblematic places in the La Mothe-Achard district. 
  • Cultural Heritage of Martinet. With " The Little Path of Fires", discover the work of ANDEMA volunteers through their sculptures unveiled each year at the Saint-Jean fireworks. The route lasts 1h30 (3km) and includes 5 Lab Caches (puzzles) in the village.

This adventure will arouse the curiosity of young and old alike!

Simple, free and without reservation! Just download Adventure Lab app and the quest can begin. 

This offer is the result of intergenerational work. It was designed by the Tourist Office, in partnership with residents of Achards and Martinet, true "local resources" keen to carry the memory of their town (and with the children of the Youth Municipal Council for the Achards trail). 

A very nice walk in the city, ideal with children, all enhanced by educational videos!
