Set off on an adventure with Théobald, the guardian of the cliff
During certain school vacation periods, young visitors can explore La Roque Saint-Christophe in a whole new way thanks to Théobald the Falcon’s mystery game.
Théobald is much more than just a mascot: this peregrine falcon, created by our team—and especially by our guide Vanessa—takes children on a fun-filled adventure through the cliff and its history.
Armed with a game booklet borrowed free of charge at the information desk, participants explore the site in search of clues and answers. Observation, critical thinking, and curiosity will be their best allies in solving the puzzles! An ideal activity for discovering local heritage while having fun.

A scavenger hunt to explore La Roque Saint-Christophe in a different way
Inspired by the spirit of geocaching or Terra Aventura, Théobald’s game invites visitors to become true explorers.
To answer the questions, you must:
- Carefully observe your surroundings.
- Read the interpretive signs along the trail.
- Understanding the history of the site.
- Discover details that are sometimes hidden in the cliff.
- Demonstrate logical thinking and keen observation skills.
Each puzzle has been designed to be accessible to children while remaining challenging enough to interest parents and grandparents. The goal is simple: to learn while having fun and discover the secrets of the largest cave fortress in the Périgord Noir.
A new adventure every season
For several years now, our team has been creating and developing Théobald’s adventures. The graphics, storylines, questions, and badges are all created in-house to offer an original and unique experience.
Each season of the game explores a different theme, allowing players to discover a new aspect of the history of La Roque Saint-Christophe:
- Prehistory.
- The Middle Ages.
- Daily Life in the Cave City.

This way, even regular visitors can discover new content and take on new challenges.

On-site Ticket OfficeLearning Through Play
At La Roque Saint-Christophe, we’ve designed the adventures of Théobald the Falcon so that children can take an active role in their visit. We know it’s not always easy for younger children to imagine themselves in the history of a troglodyte settlement simply by looking at the site. Thanks to the puzzles, they have a mission to complete: observe, look for clues, read the signs, and understand the site to find the right answers. It’s a fun way to discover our heritage while having a good time—to the delight of the children… and often their parents, too!
