Investigative visit, The Prisoner of the Bastille

Relive one of the most emblematic days in French history by taking part in this two-hour treasure hunt through Paris.

Your adventure will take you to discover Maxime Delavoix, an inhabitant of Paris in 1789, whose mission is to organize the escape of an enigmatic prisoner locked up in the dungeons of the royal Bastille prison. It's July 14, 1789, and Maxime quickly finds himself caught up in the hustle and bustle of events, all converging on the fortress of the Bastille.

Using old maps and the roadbook you'll be given, you'll have to solve the riddles and guide Maxime through the old streets of 1789. Through him, you'll experience the storming of the Bastille!

Each step will bring you a little closer to your goal: to help Maxime free the oldest prisoner in the Bastille, and understand the intentions of his mysterious sponsors.
