"Double jeu... de Seine" is a treasure hunt in the old Paris of the Wars of Religion! Meet at the Reformed Temple at 58 rue Madame (6th arrondissement), in the year of grace 1591. The capital is under siege by its own king, Henry IV. The rebels of the League have Paris under lockdown: this great politician may have promised a law of tolerance and amnesty, but they fear this Huguenot king. They manipulate and terrorise the population. It is also a European war, with mercenaries from Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and England. Protestants and Catholics open to ecumenism, join us to foil this terrible plot and save peace in France from the clutches of fanatics and identitarians! On the programme: a 1-hour walk between the left and right banks, underground passages, coats of arms and secret codes.
