Publié le 18 April 2025 par su_laetis
Halloween is now a not-to-be-missed event during the All Saints' holiday. Here's a round-up of the terrifying places to go around Brive at this time of year.
Celebrate Halloween in Corrèze
Chills at the lighthouse!
Do you dare to enter the lighthouse, transformed into a terrifying tower filled with shadows and mystery? Only the bravest will be able to venture to the top, where Cruella, the witch of the Lighthouse, resides!
But don't worry, little monsters are welcome! From the age of 4-5, children can set off on an adventure with a booklet full of mysterious riddles and challenges. Their mission? Answer cultural questions, solve riddles and take on fun little challenges. With each correct answer, they get closer to the secret word, with the ultimate clue hidden in Cruella's lair at the top of the lighthouse. And if, by some miracle, they manage to complete all the challenges, a magical reward awaits them! What's more, if you come dressed up, the witch herself might be impressed...
