The world is already interesting. Thaïa helps you take a closer look. Point your camera at a monument, a facade, a statue or a work of art. Thaïa recognizes what you are looking at and tells you what deserves your attention. LOOK CLOSER Does a detail intrigue you? Does a place catch your eye? Simply point your camera. Thaïa identifies what is in front of you and gives you the context that changes the way you see it: its history, its era, the details to notice and what makes it unique. ASK THE QUESTION Have a question? Ask it naturally, in writing or by voice. Luna gets straight to the point. Atlas goes deeper. Kai takes you toward what you might not have thought to look for yourself. Three ways to explore, depending on your curiosity in the moment. FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY Tell us where you are, what interests you and how much time you have. Thaïa creates a route tailored to your pace and connects places in an order that makes sense. A few hours, a day or simply the desire to walk: start from where you are. DON'T MISS IT When a remarkable place is nearby, Thaïa can let you know. A facade you had never noticed. A work of art hidden down a street. A story behind a building you pass every day. Sometimes, you just need to know where to look. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PLACE Listen to the story while you walk, look or explore. Then find the stories you have saved and listen to them again, even offline. Available in French, English and Spanish.
