Uncover the secrets of the Port of the Moon, the crescent riverfront that made Bordeaux a UNESCO World Heritage city. This self-guided exploration game takes you from the Monument aux Girondins through elegant squares and medieval city gates to the Big Bell, while clues reveal the stories that the postcard views leave out.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 4.2 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.
