Description

In the year of Our Lord 1571, two years had passed since the end of the Third War of Religion in Bearn. The Siege of Navarrenx was the turning point in this terrible campaign, which pitted the Béarn Protestants, loyal to Queen Jeanne d'Albret, against a French Catholic army that had come to invade the sovereign Viscounty of Béarn. 79 days of cannonade! A terrible battle... The queen returned to ensure that the city managed to recovered. The city's officers have prepared a new route to take her to places where memories are painful... Prepare yourself for a journey 450 years back in time, as you accompany the Queen and her soldiers to the hidden side of the ramparts, far from the usual tours... Places where anecdotes are in abundance ... But... has the enemy really gone? Is the Queen really safe? Is the city as impregnable as they say?
