WITNESS THE KEY MOMENTS OF THE ESCALADE
December 1602 – the Duke of Savoy is about to send his troops into Geneva. Right as the ferocious Brunaulieu is the first to reach the top of the city walls, the shot of an arquebus echoes in the night, sounding the alarm. Thus begins a series of acts of bravery which will shift the tide of the battle – a humble cooking pot, thrown from an open window. A fiercely kept door, or a portcullis crashing into the ground with a thunderous roar… Those are but a few of the events you will witness during your turbulent journey through the Geneva of 1602!
EXPERIENCE THE ESCALADE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
A Very Special Tour
The sun is already setting upon the shiny collections of the Armors’ Hall, but the janitor is feeling rather chatty, and the museum keeps many secrets for those who will lend an ear to his stories… And a few surprises too; so before you leave, do make sure to keep your arms and legs inside the storage room… Bon voyage!
Meet Legendary Heroes
Discover the characters who made the Escalade the stuff of legends. Let the Mère Royaume and her fateful cooking pot guide your way! When the enemy makes it through the walls, find refuge in the home of the brave Dame Piaget, but do stay on your guard: your journey does not end cozily by the fire…

From the camps of the Savoyard army to the winding streets of Geneva, live through the events of the darkest of nights, when the fate of a city hung in the balance, and see what it took for its sleepy citizens to foil the plans of the Duke of Savoie and the zealous Brunaulieu!
