Every place has a story. Côté tells it. Open the map wherever you are and see the heritage around you: a chapel, a mill, a castle, a factory, sometimes something that is no longer there. Tap a place and read its story, written for your age group. Côté is an educational heritage and culture app. HERITAGE AROUND YOU • Interactive map of culture points: history, anecdotes, monuments, war memorials and lost places • The map shows what stands around you right now, on a trip too • Every story comes in four versions, written for different readers, from young readers to seniors • Built-in heritage dictionary: difficult words are explained on the spot • Save the places you want to visit with the heart button • World wonders such as volcanoes appear on the map too, each with its own story LANGUAGES AND COVERAGE • The app works in many languages, including English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Turkish, Arabic and Ukrainian.
