The Experience

I didn’t expect to get so caught up in the story of Arsène Lupin as we wandered through Étretat. The first clue was hidden near a bakery — we could smell fresh bread mixing with the salty air from the sea. Our guide, Camille, handed us an old-looking envelope and grinned like she knew we’d be stumped by the first puzzle (she was right). I tried to pronounce “falaise” properly and totally failed — Camille just laughed and gave me a hint in French-accented English. The whole thing felt more like playing than sightseeing.

We zigzagged down tiny lanes, past houses with blue shutters and gardens full of wildflowers. At one point a local waved from his bike and called out something about “Lupin’s treasure” — I think everyone here is in on the joke. The main keyword for this adventure is definitely ‘outdoor escape game Étretat’, but honestly it’s more than that; you end up noticing things you’d walk right past otherwise. There was this moment at the cliffs where the wind whipped around us and everything went quiet except for gulls overhead. I still think about that view sometimes.

The puzzles got trickier as we went, but Camille never let us get too frustrated — she’d drop just enough hints to keep things moving. We had two hours to find the treasure (no pressure), but no one was checking their watch. If you want to do it alone you can, but having someone local along made it feel less like homework and more like being part of some weird little club for a day. We finished just as it started to drizzle — classic Normandy timing.
