The Old Customs Recruits! (FR)

The customs officer is retiring but no one to take over... We are counting on you to help us recruit!
We count on you to answer the recruitment!

Description

Nostalgic, the last gabelou will not fail to share his anecdotes and his funny and unusual stories about the history of the border. Pig, sausage, cheese... everything has been there! But to train new customs officers to fulfil their mission, there is nothing like practice to put you to the test! But don't count on him to entrust the brigade to just anyone: he has a few challenges in store to test your skills!
Will you earn your rank as a customs officer?
