Geocaching in France

I have been an active Geocacher for about 18 months - the hobby was discovered by complete accident. But I have been geocaching in England and Madeira, and it becomes quite addictive if you enjoy walking!  In the UK I registered for free at Geocaching.com and downloaded the c:geo app for Android Smartphones.

But have you heard about geocaching in France? This outdoor activity is a fun way to discover nature whilst adding a bit of adrenaline to your holidays in France! Geocaching is the treasure hunting game of the 21st century, where a GPS replaces the traditional map. What better way to bring friends and family together while having fun outdoors? The combination of new technologies and the excitement of looking for hidden items and even on occasion a small prize will delight everyone!

With more than 48,000 caches in throughout the country, geocaching will take you to remarkable and unique parts of France, some which you might have never seen before. Geocaches can be found everywhere, just around the corner from where you are staying or further afield in unknown terrain. They can be hidden in many sites of interest, around French national monuments or sites that appear in UNESCO's World Heritage site list. Wherever they may be, your hunt will be a challenging adventure!

Simply go to the web site mides, where you will find geocaching maps of France. You just need to type the name of a French city or village and you will obtain a list of all the geocaches within a 25 or 50 km radius. Then all you have to do is register the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS device, or GPS-enabled mobile phone, and let the hunt commence!
