You will follow in Catherine's storey, in the footsteps of an unscrupulous competing printer. Will she manage to save her printing press and her sons from her grip?

    This narrated tour brings the buildings of this UNESCO-listed Renaissance district to life and the traboules through which you wander. Immersed in the tale, you will see the adventures of the characters unfold right before your eyes!
