Summer’s Sizzling in the Vallespir

Votre mission, si toutefois vous l’acceptez…

After confinement and restrictions over the past year, where better to let your hair down outdoors (with care) than the Vallespir?

This year we have the added bonus of the Tour de France – and some exciting competitions with clues, special missions and great prizes.

Baludik

Put together balader (to stroll) and ludique (fun) and what do you get? The very first digital bike trail in the footsteps of the ancestors of Galipan, the Vallespir mascot.

Explore the history of Céret, solve clues, accept missions…..Most definitely for all the family. Uh oh! Forgotten your bike, accidentally or on purpose? No excuses! You can hire bikes from the Office de Tourisme. Just ask!

Valles’Game

Last year, players had to find a different object each week, hidden in one of the 10 communes of Vallespir. A riddle was published every Friday, Saturday and Sunday on social media to point you in the right direction.

This year, the concept has changed! The clues will be in photo form, published Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 10am on the Facebook page. As the days go by, the photos will give an increasingly clear view of the site.

To be the lucky winner, you have to take a photo of yourself in front of the site in question and be the first to post the photo as a comment on the publication pinned to the game.

The game will take place every week in a different Vallespir town from 1st July to 4th September.

As well as getting out and about, there is an amazing range of prizes up for grabs, including cameras, hampers and vouchers for local businesses.
