CityGem, the free app improving your Parisian strolls

Themed walks, audio commentaries, fun facts, stories, landmarks: to rediscover Paris and improve your strolls, you can trust the CityGem application.

With lockdown your stroll options have been dramatically cut off. If you are tired of walking the same streets every day and you feel like you are trapped in Groundhog Day, or The Truman Show, CityGem has got you covered. If you crave fascinating strolls to improve your knowledge while out and about, download the free application and put your trainers on!

CityGem is a free application available on IOS and Android to spruce your strolls up and provide you with a new experience. Rediscover the city by walking new paths, noticing sculptures, buildings, and corners you have never seen before.

First, choose your mean of transportation (by foot, bicycle, motorbike, car, scooter…), select a theme (architecture, art, history, quirky, green, lovely, unmissable or multithemed), a stroll length or distance to enjoy. Then, the application creates your route. You only have to follow it, leaving your phone in your pocket.

Do not forget to connect your earphones to your phone: during the stroll, actors tell you a thousand fun facts and stories about the places you are walking by. The GPS audio-guidance and texts run automatically when you walk by one of the landmarks or when you take a new direction.

Brand-new, the application already provides 730 places of interest, and 56 routes, including 38 in Paris, three in Bordeaux, three in Lille, three in Lyon, three in Nantes, three in Saint-Malo, one in Strasbourg, one in Fontainebleau, and one in Versailles. New cities and routes are soon to be added.

CityGem promises never-before-seen experiences in the streets, on the look for magnificent details we have never noticed before, small hidden streets, uncommon places… Roaming around, contemplating, entertaining ourselves and improving our knowledge effortlessly and pleasantly: here is an application that will delight us in no time!
