Once upon a time from Pérouges to Bugey... 

An old legend says that once upon a time, when we strolled from Pérouges to Bugey, you could hear the tinkle of a fairy stuck in the blades of grass… Or the whisper of elves hidden behind an old wall in stone. Or even sometimes, if you listened carefully, to the elusive song of a mermaid in the reeds of a sleeping pond... 

“Fantastic Pérouges and Bugey”– Office of Internal Affairs - 1865

But those are just old legends, aren't they? Because today from Pérouges to Bugey there are even more surprising things. Recently, a question is on everyone's lips, the same one that resonates in the alleys of Pérouges in Meximieux and which is spoken of in a low voice at bar counters… And this question, which only you can answer, is…

Can I play it between two slices of Pérouges galette?  

Not so fast, dear investigators! It is a gripping investigation, which invites you to escape and immerse yourself in your own imagination. It therefore counts 2 parts, approximately 2 hours each. But do not panic ! The game is done independently and at your own pace, there is no time constraint.

For the most motivated players, it is possible to complete both parts in the same day with a picnic break in the middle. For those who prefer to take their time, it is possible to play over two half-days. You can play all year round, but for your comfort, the game is not recommended in case of bad weather, high heat or in the off-season (from November to March).
