About
Step into the mischievous world of Pierre to thwart the plans of the fearsome Cornebidouille. This witch, furious with children who refuse their soup, is determined to make them vanish using her spells. To escape her trap, players must show real cleverness to uncover her magic formula and use it against her. Held at the Marguerite Yourcenar library, this immersive challenge is free to attend, though registration is required in advance. It is a perfect adventure for children aged 6 to 11 looking for an interactive experience in the heart of the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
Cornebidouille is tired of children who refuse to eat their soup. She is truly furious and has decided to 'ratatouille' the children: she wants to make them disappear with her magic spell!
There is no way we will let her get away with it. Just like Pierre, you will have to be smarter than her and find her magic spell to turn it against her.
