Treasure hunt: a spy in l'Esseillon

Call for volunteers! The French General Staff is recruiting spies to unlock the secrets of the fortress and free the imprisoned lieutenant colonel.
New scenario for the family treasure hunt at the Esseillon forts.

Description

A trail to share with family and friends, the Promenade Savoyarde de Découverte des Forts de l'Esseillon is a fun way to discover our heritage.
This year, Aussois offers a new scenario taking you back to 1840, through the labyrinths of the imposing fortress where spies swarm.
Calling all French soldier volunteers! Infiltrate enemy fort Victor-Emmanuel to shed light on its organization and the life of the Sardinian garrison. Collect your logbook to enter the fort and solve the riddles that will also enable you to free Lieutenant-Colonel Desgranges. The giant leaves scattered along the route will provide you with the information obtained and passed on to the French general staff by the lieutenant-colonel before he was imprisoned.
