Visitors explore a giant corn field transformed into a maze in Soultz, eastern France, on 6 August 2025. Tall, blond, with a genuine smile and his hair tied back in a bun, Lucas Kessler has realised his ‘childhood dream’: he has installed two giant mazes in his cornfields in Soultz (Haut-Rhin), with the aim of ‘changing people’s perception of the profession’. At the foot of the Vosges mountains, these two attractions are a huge hit after only a few weeks of opening.
