Maudit Château – Your B1 French Learning Mystery

It's summer, peak travel season, and high season in the Loire Valley, where the châteaux are vying for the favor of tourists once again after the pandemic. The estate of the de la Colombelle family is considered a hidden gem. It is one of the smaller châteaux but boasts particularly valuable furniture and art treasures. However, on a beautiful July morning, a visit to the château turns into a nightmare for a group of visitors: on the guillotine lies the headless corpse of a man. It quickly becomes clear that it was no accident. Investigators Irène Cerfeuille and Ninon Raven take over – but no one claims to have seen or known the man. However, Ninon can't shake the feeling that the château looks familiar to her – even though she has never been in the area before.
