Paris, painted by hand. Not a cold, flat map: a panorama in perspective where every landmark is drawn as you see it, from the Eiffel Tower to Sacré-Cœur, from Notre-Dame to the Louvre. One glance is enough to understand the city. FIND YOUR WAY Your position appears on the painting, not on an anonymous background. Tap a landmark: a short story, its address, the nearest metro stations, and how long it takes to get there from where you are, on foot or by metro. THE METRO, AT LAST LEGIBLE Switch to Metro mode: the 2026 network sits on the painting, from line 1 to line 14 out to Orly, with the RER and the trams. Under each station name, the time from your position at rush hour. Tap two stations: the route appears, with transfers and the direction to follow on the platform. 382 PLACES WITH THEIR STORIES Monuments, museums, churches, gardens, bridges, theatres: each page tells you what to see and why to stop. The audio guide reads them aloud, offline. YOUR PARIS NOTEBOOK Walk within 80 meters of a place and it joins your notebook. Bronze, silver, gold and platinum medals as you explore. SOUVENIRS Aim the camera at a landmark: the places around you are named in augmented reality. Take the photo, pick a frame (postcard, enamel street sign, notebook stamp…) and share it. FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION The map, the metro, the pages and your position are free, with a discreet banner. A single purchase, forever, unlocks unlimited routes and the audio guide, and removes ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Audio Guide Paris at none against Paris's shown. Audio Guide Paris also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
