This treasure hunt, designed by us, offers you the chance to fulfil a historian’s dream: to go back in time and experience one of the most emblematic days in French history from the inside.

Your adventure will bring you face to face with Maxime Delavoix, an inhabitant of Paris in 1789, who is entrusted with the mission of organising the escape of an enigmatic prisoner, locked up in the dungeons of the royal prison of the Bastille. It is July 14, 1789, and Maxime quickly finds himself in the middle of the agitation and events that all converge on a central point: the fortress of the Bastille.

Thanks to the old maps and the roadbook you will be given, you will solve the riddles to guide Maxime’s steps in the old streets of 1789 and experience the Bastille Day from the inside.
Each step will bring you a little closer to your goal: to help Maxime free the oldest prisoner of the Bastille, and understand the intentions of his mysterious sponsors.

Please come equipped with your own pen.

We also offer you the Immersive Game, Arsene Lupin et the secret of the Opera.

Starting point of the survey : Jardin de l’Arsenal – Métro Bastille, Exit 4 under the weeping willow, opposite the Grand Bleu restaurant.
