The Bessède path

Do you want to become a knight of Lacaze? We suggest you play a little game to discover the village and the castle. Don't forget to ask for your equipment, which will be lent to you free of charge.To show the lord of Lacaze that you can do it, you need to prove your observational skills. To do this, pick up the map of the tour you'll be doing at the castle reception desk. Put on your equipment (shield, sword and knight's chasuble) and follow the map as you make your way around the castle through the narrow streets of the village. Remember, you'll be asked a number of questions to sharpen your observational skills, so take a good look around you and take note of the answers. These answers will give you a password. Give it to the reception desk and you'll be given your knight's diploma.
