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, the nearest 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. Tap two stations: the route appears, with transfers and the direction to follow on the platform. Then start navigation: the app counts the stops, tells you where to change and where to get off, and reports disrupted lines. ELEVEN WALKING TOURS Paris in a day, the Seine and its bridges, the painters' Montmartre, Revolutionary Paris, department stores and covered arcades… Every route is drawn on the painting and guided stop by stop, with the distance to the next one, phone in your pocket. 400 PLACES WITH THEIR STORIES Monuments, museums, churches, gardens, bridges, neighbourhoods, department stores: each page tells you what to see and why to stop. The audio guide tells the story of the great landmarks chapter by chapter, to listen to or to read, offline. YOUR TRAVEL JOURNAL Walk past a place: it joins your journal, with the date. Your photos, taken in the app or added from your phone, are filed on the right day and at the right place. Back home, open the app again: your stay appears day by day on the painted map, to replay and to share as a video. SOUVENIRS Aim the camera at a landmark: the places around you appear in augmented reality. Take the photo, pick a frame (stamped postcard, enamel street sign, story…) and share it. FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION The map, the metro, routes, pages, navigation, the viewfinder and the journal are free, with a discreet banner. A single purchase, forever, unlocks every walk, every chapter of the audio guide, the day-by-day travel diary with its Replay mode, and removes ads.
