These riddles for this Treasure Hunt were  created by Philippe Boutry. He lives in Normandy, France. Philippe frequently creates treasure hunts with riddles to solve in France. I am honored that he has created these 11 riddles for my treasure hunt. Thank you Philippe!

Here is a note from Philippe-

Hi everybody,

I am a french guy, my name is Philippe and my pseudo on the web is Ysengrin.

I’ve always been interested in puzzles and for ten years I have published treasure hunts and riddles on the web.

Two years ago I published a great treasure hunt (63 riddles) about the history of painting. In order to make a poster for this treasure hunt, I looked for a picture of geese in a painting, and I found  the " 7 Geese in the Library Garden," painted by Susan. I sent an e-mail to her to ask her for permission to use her painting and she quickly agreed.

After 7 months researching, the winner of this treasure hunt won a reproduction of Susan’s  "7 Geese in the Library Garden".

In order to thank her, I suggested to her to create a little treasure hunt for her blog. So you will soon have 11 puzzles to solve to win a painting signed by Susan….don’t worry, it will be much less difficult than my french puzzles. And if you don’t succeed to solve the riddles, you will find help on Susan’s blog.

Creating riddles is not a job for me, I do it only for the fun. I  retired 3 years ago. Before that, I worked as a chemist in the Normandy plant of an American petrochemical company named Lubrizol. I still live in Normandy, in Sainte-Adresse, a little city on the seaside where many renowned painters lived or spent holidays : Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, Raoul Dufy….

Regards,

Philippe
