For the first time on the Apple Store, an original application on Paris and its metro. This new 3D map of Paris was enterely sketched and painted by hand. You can see at a glance both the map and the city's famous sites and tourist attractions. The museums, the monuments and famous buildings, the departement stores, the parks ans gardens are all presented as they appear. This magnificent bird's-eye view of Paris will help you find your way around and to really appreciate the city's diversity and splendor. Thanks to the metro map, you will easily find the station to go for your visits. The map was painted in watercolor by an artist to give a modern and informative view of Paris, the most beautiful city in the world. Hundreds of hours were needed to perfect the details, which include the names of streets and places of interest in Paris. Further, an index of the main attractions and tourist sites in the city with all the necessary practical information (nearest metro station, phone number, openning hours, etc) will be proposed on this application. The application is working without connection.
