What To Expect
Square Gambetta is a large square in Carcassonne on the other side of the river Aude and the famous Cité. With this square begins the old walled city, built by King St. Louis of France: La Bastide de Saint Louis. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Chapelle Notre Dame de la Sante
According to notarial acts, the little chapel Notre Dame de la Santé was built with money from the legacy of Jean de Saix, in 1527, as a hospital for those suffering from the plague. It was considered a faithful guard in that strategic location, the narrow passage between fortified buildings. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

1.00For my part I can't give a positive review because it's impossible to unlock the quest...either with the email address where the QR Code! And yet there were several of us and we lost at least 1 hour t of money for nothing...
Inappropriate for us

2.00Unlocking very complicated, worked after a lot of effort for 2 of 3. History for children. Suitable if you are interested in detailed knowledge and architecture. Diseases, for example, as in the description hardly appear in the explanations.
For my part, nowhere does it work...

4.00Quite a fun way to see some of the less obvious parts of the city, both Old and New. I liked how you could pause the game and then lick it up later. I was close to running out of battery on my first day, so picked the game up over 24 hours later very easily.
