The experience

About this quest

The year is 1429. Joan of Arc has just freed Orléans and now sets her sights on Burgundy. 

But to unite France, she must do more than fight—she must forge peace. You’ve been entrusted with a critical mission: deliver a secret treaty to Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy, whose alliance with the English threatens the future of France.

Winding through the historic streets of Dijon, you’ll solve puzzles, follow clues, and navigate through a city divided by war and diplomacy. Can you complete your mission before it's too late?

This walking quest is a blend of history, strategy, and adventure—perfect for families, friends, and history lovers alike. Walk, discover, and become part of a story that changed a nation.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Couples and small groups who love medieval history can carry Joan of Arc's secret treaty to the Duke of Burgundy, solving puzzles at Porte Guillaume, Notre Dame and the Palace of the Dukes over about 70 minutes and 2.1 km of old Dijon. It also suits travellers tracing Joan's story across France. If you would rather put questions about the Hundred Years War to a live historian, book a guided tour instead.
