Description

In the year 1571, the town of Navarrenx underwent a terrible siege by the Catholic army of the King of France. Baron d'Arros, Queen Jeanne d'Albret's Protestant leader, led 500 soldiers in white scarves to repel against the invaders! Protestant and independent Béarn is still alive! But for how long? The Baron is getting old and there are only a handful of soldiers left to defend the city... it's up to you! Make your way to the city's Saint Antoine gate by 5.30pm sharp! The officers will be waiting for you there to lead you onto and under the ramparts! Who knows whether the Spanish or the French will try to storm the city again... Ready to take a leap back 450 years ?
