The year is 1304. The fortified walls of Carcassonne have stood firm against invaders for decades, but as winter approaches, the citizens will face their biggest test. Can you help to protect the city? 

Our partners, Excurio, in collaboration with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, have launched The Last Stronghold – Carcassonne, 1304, now open in Paris, Lyon, and Bordeaux.
