"Visit Paris", the new Iphone app. Paris as you never saw it before!



‘Visit Paris’ is the first application to let you explore Paris through videos on an  iPhone or I Pod Touch.  Only 3.99 euros or 4.99 dollars (introductory price).

Relive in pictures the building of Notre Dame cathedral, or the last days of doomed Queen Marie Antoinette.

When in Paris: The place before you springs to life, simply and easily. Using GPS, touch the map and the video starts.

From elsewhere: Use ‘Visit Paris’ anywhere, using map or menu. 

50 videos tell short, amusing, original stories about famous or unusual places, often with archive photos and films (Gaumont-Pathé, INA, Réunion des Musées Nationaux).

Meet Eiffel before his Tower, learn what’s under Sacré Coeur church and what the Arc De Triomphe means to France, see where the Statue of Liberty was born, and the unknown Louvre ...     

Special Features :

- The use of the latest techniques, enabling the animation of photographs and engravings, use of 3D and 2D effects.
- True stories, bringing places to life, (told by professional and established actors), and not just a list of buildings and dates.
- Rare or forgotten images of Paris, from the greatest collections (photographs and videos).
- Original soundtracks and music, or great composers, (for example Offenbach).
- Additional information in text format, similar to traditional tourist guides.
- Users can move at any time to Google Maps, to orientate themselves and move from one point to another.

We recommend you try out the quality of your internet connection by first downloading our ‘Paris Lite’ version, FREE from AppStore. 

The video collection will be regularly added to and enriched.
