Clic’Lac Park Land of Adventures – Treasure Hunt: A Fun-Filled Outdoor Challenge in Loire Valley

If you’re looking for a quick, affordable, and engaging activity in the heart of the Loire Valley, Clic’Lac Park’s Treasure Hunt might be just what you need. Priced at only $12 per person and lasting around one hour, this experience invites you into a natural setting beside a peaceful lake at Chemillé-sur-Indrois. The park is conveniently located within reach of major towns like Tours, Blois, and Amboise, making it a flexible addition to your sightseeing itinerary.

What makes this activity especially appealing is its interactive nature—geared toward families, friends, and curious explorers alike. We particularly like that it offers unlimited duration, meaning you can take your time solving riddles and deciphering maps at your own pace. Another highlight is the adventure theme—it’s not just a walk in the park, but a challenge that sparks your inner explorer.

However, a little consideration is worth noting: the treasure hunt alone does not include access to the accrobranche (adventure course) or the nets, which are separate activities. If you’re hoping to combine the treasure hunt with a physical challenge, plan accordingly. This experience suits those who want a laid-back yet engaging outdoor activity, especially families with children over 5, or small groups wanting a fun, budget-friendly distraction.

A Closer Look at the Treasure Hunt Experience

Location and Setting

The adventure takes place at Chemillé-sur-Indrois, a charming spot beside a lake surrounded by the lush landscape of the Loire Valley. It’s a peaceful, natural environment that provides a perfect backdrop for an outdoor challenge. Unlike some tourist traps, this activity keeps the focus on authentic outdoor fun—you’re not just walking through a theme park, but engaging with nature while solving mysteries.

Its proximity to major attractions like Loches, Amboise, and Château de Chenonceau means it can serve as a light-hearted interlude during a busy day exploring castles and vineyards. Plus, it’s only about 20 minutes from Beauval Zoo, making it a flexible addition for families wanting variety.

What to Expect

When you arrive, you’ll be handed an adventurer’s kit—a map, clues, and possibly some tools to help decipher the treasure’s location. The story revolves around the legendary Johnny Bambou, who supposedly found a mysterious map leading to a hidden treasure on the lake shores. Your task is to help him solve riddles and complete challenges to uncover the secret.

The activity is designed to be interactive and puzzle-based, so you’ll be encouraged to think critically. Kids over 5 will enjoy the challenge, but younger children might find it less engaging unless they’re with older siblings or adults guiding them. The goal is to make the experience fun and safe, with all challenges designed with safety in mind.

Since the experience is not guided in a traditional sense, you’re free to explore at your own pace, which adds a sense of adventure and discovery. As one reviewer noted, “The clues are well thought out and add a fun layer of puzzle-solving to the walk.”

Value for Money

At $12 per person, the cost is very reasonable, especially considering it’s an hour of outdoor fun. The inclusion of the adventure kit makes it a good deal, and the fact that it’s unlimited in duration means you can take your time without feeling rushed. For families, this is a budget-friendly activity that offers more than just a quick photo opportunity—it’s an experience that promotes teamwork and problem-solving.

Who Should Consider This?

This activity is best suited for families with children over 5, groups of friends, or couples looking for a light-hearted challenge. If you’re seeking a relaxed outdoor activity that combines storytelling with a bit of puzzle-solving, it will hit the spot. Those wanting a more physically demanding activity should look elsewhere, as the treasure hunt focuses on mental challenge rather than physical exertion.

Its scenic location by the lake and the interactive storyline involving Johnny Bambou provide a charming escape from castle tours and wine tastings. While it doesn’t include access to the adventure course, it holds its own as a fun, affordable, and family-friendly outdoor activity.

For travelers who enjoy puzzle-solving, storytelling, and exploring at a leisurely pace, this experience delivers genuine value.
