Robin loves the tales from the Middle Ages! He heard one about a Lady named Alix who was in love with Guillemain, a brave knight of the Duke of Aquitaine. The two lovers had met at a tournament, but Guillemain had to go on a war. He never came back… Robin knows that a stone representing Guil-lemain was sculpted to decorate his grave. The young detective wants to find it and he needs your help!

In order to help Robin, you have to answer a few riddles and share your tal-ents of detective with him… The riddles will help you to find 8 clues in col-oured squares. And write the clues at the end of the game. Are you ready? Let’s go !

From the Place du Clocher, look at the village. In the Middle Ages, Saint-Emilion was a nice trading town, surrounded by a city wall and a vineyards. Today, this heritage is protected! This symbol, on the bell tower, certifies the protection: A letter is missing! Find this symbol and write below the missing letter: Answer:

Then look behind you and observe the windows on the façade of the Tourist Office. The character represented is maybe the patron of the village. Try to find his name, it’s easy :

E _ I _ _ON

There is a gate on the right side of the Tourist Office. A symbol and three let-ters are carved in the stone above the door. What is the first letter? Answer:

In front of the gate, go on your right in the street named “rue des Girondins”. At the end of this street, turn twice to the right in the rue de la cadène. Look on your left to discover the only half-timbered house of the village. Look carefully at the animals carved on the wooden frieze. Circle the intruder.

Now, walk down the street “rue de la Cadène” and reach the main square named “place de l’église monolithe”. In the Middle Ages, it was the Market Square. On your right, observe the covered market called halle in French. What is the date on top of its façade?

□ 1665 □ 1765 □ 1865

Which letter of the alphabet matches with the last number? Answer:

Use the chart if you need

Then, continue in the rue du Thau. You will reach the rue des ...

These people are the ambassadors of Saint-Emilion wines. Twice a year, they climb up a square tower: the King’s Castle. You have to go there, but before go to rue de la Petite Fontaine to solve the next riddle.

La Petite Fontaine was a fountain in which people came to: Wash clothes and linen Play leap-frog Skip stones

Reach the second fountain in the rue de la grande fontaine, and play the fol-lowing riddle… My first is a synonym of “taxi” My second is the female sheep My whole is the name of the square you have to reach now :
