My home town of Wetzlar was lucky when it chose its French twin town: AVIGNON! During my school days there were always attractive offers to experience joint holiday programs with young French people in Avignon and the surrounding area. I took part in it several times, sometimes as a boy scout or as part of a student exchange.

If you then live as a 15-year-old or 16-year-old in the south of France among French boys and girls of the same age, moving memories are associated with certain songs. One of them: "Il est cinq heures, Paris s'éveille" by Jacques Dutronc.

Here you can find the song on youtube:

While listening, stop the song whenever the refrain 'Il est cinq heures...' begins:

The elapsed time is displayed at the bottom of the image.
Make you a note the time that has elapsed when the chorus begins!

e:fx = the 4
thtime 'Il est cinq heures ...'
g:hx = the 5

That's right, you skip the 3rd time! Take the values of these times:

This string of digits leads you to the final's coordinates via certitude.
