We’ll start out tour in the Saint George district, shuned even by tourists, where we’ll search for evil spirits.

We will continue through the Rue du Boeuf, the most Michelin-starred of France, to uncover pagan rituals, and we will keep thrilling with stories of enigmatic water-diviners and beings from other worlds.

Une aventure en pleine nature à vivre en équipe, c'est ma devise. 2 équipes, des épreuves et un trésor. Il s'agit d'une chasse au trésor dans laquelle je raconte une histoire (une légende) à mes aventuriers, qui ensuite composent 2 équipes pour participer à des épreuves d'adresse, précision, mémorisation, réflexion, .... de façon à collecter des indices pour ensuite effectuer dans un second temps une chasse au trésor avec des énigmes à résoudre pour retrouver le trésor.

Le loup est l'animal symbole du monde sauvage : domestiqué il y a longtemps par l'homme, ancêtre de tous les chiens actuels, chasseur rusé et prudent, il fascine autant qu'il suscite la crainte. Revenu d'Italie par le Mercantour, je vous propose de m'accompagner le temps d'une balade dans ce massif sauvage, sur les traces de cet animal mystérieux et souvent méconnu. Entre contes et légendes et faits avérés, nous essayerons de démêler ce qui relève du fantasme et de la réalité en allant au plus près de lui, sur son territoire ; comment le loup a-t-il évolué auprès des hommes ? quel est son impact actuel et passé sur les troupeaux de bétail ? comment s'organise une meute, quel territoire contrôle-t-elle ? Retour naturel ou réintroduction ? Où peut-on le trouver actuellement en France et en Europe ? Est-il dangereux pour l'homme ? Nous tenterons de trouver les indices de sa présence lors de notre sortie tout en nous intéressant aux animaux qui cohabitent dans cet espace naturel exceptionnel qu'est le Mercantour : chamois, bouquetins, marmottes, vautours et aigles... Et même si nous avons peu de chances l'apercevoir, vous pourrez, à l'issue de notre escapade, vous faire une opinion éclairée grâce à une meilleure compréhension de cet animal extraordinaire. Important : le col d'Allos restera fermé cet été, pensez à bien vérifier votre itinéraire pour rejoindre Allos !
