Strolling around Paris is all very well, but in the end, it's pretty much the same thing all the time: you walk from point A to point B, stop off in a square for a snack, take a few photos and then head home. So, here's an app to make all your walks in Paris fun, by setting off on an artistic treasure hunt that's, above all, fun.

Catch them all! This afternoon, we're off on a treasure hunt for street art all over Paris. We don't need to introduce you to the Invaders, the street artworks you regularly come across in Paris: above a street name sign, on a high wall, just above a sign...

Made of mosaic, their design is quickly reminiscent of the video game Minecraft, as if the images were ultra-pixelated: these small street art interventions in urban space are the work ofInvader, the artist who gave his name to his little mosaics: in Paris, all you have to do is turn your head and open your eye to come across one of them, perched on a street corner.

In Paris, there are hundreds of Invaders: in every arrondissement, close to major national monuments, in more secret places, with a few Invaders in the suburbs too. So, theFlashInvaders application lets you go... hunting for Invaders! All you have to do is download it, for iPhone or Android, and then flash each Invader you come across to collect points. To help you along, a map lists all the Invaders in the capital, so you know where to start! It's a fun, free outing that's sure to please the kids, but above all, it's a great way to make a stroll around Paris more fun for the whole family, friends or even just the two of you.
