'Viatge a l'Infant', an experience-based tourist and cultural route through the universe of 'The Little Prince'

Sit on the beach, close your eyes and notice everything surrounding you: the sound of the sea waves, the gentle breeze on your face, the singing of the birds... and find an element around you that represents what makes you special.

This is one of the seven dynamics proposed by ‘Journey to l'Infant’, the experience-based tourist and cultural route inspired by the work of The Little Prince, by the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

But why Saint-Exupéry and The Little Prince? Well, because it has been recorded that the author of this literary classic was forced to make an emergency landing in the village while piloting a plane from Marseille to Algiers. This is why, in 1932, Exupéry spent two days in L'Hospitalet de l'Infant.

As a result we have created, ‘Journey to Childhood’, an innovative walking route along the Jonquet Coastal Path that offers an immersive, transformative and memorable experience all year round.

Along the route, the participants take part in seven dynamics that focus on personal wellbeing and highlight values such as love, friendship, innocence, gratitude, tolerance... All values centred on the story of The Little Prince. Those of you who follow the route will therefore be able to connect with yourselves and with the people who accompany you. The personal challenges along the way make you think, get excited and transform yourselves.

To do the route you need the ‘Journey to Childhood passport’, which can be downloaded here or collected from the Tourist Office. This passport contains information about each of the challenges. If you have the passport on paper, at each point along the route you can stamp the passport with the signs that you will find along the route. Once you have all the stamps in your passport, you can go to the Tourist Office to collect a little souvenir.
