Hall of Fame App Developer Launches "Fotopedia Paris"; Discover and Explore Paris as It's Never Been Seen, on Your iPhone or iPad
SAN FRANCISCO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Fotopedia, the publisher of popular apps for iPhone and iPad and creator of the first collaborative photographic encyclopedia, today announced its newest app, "Fotopedia Paris."
Following the success of its third app, "Memory of Colors," Fotopedia is creating another way to celebrate the beauty of the world, this time bringing together the most spectacular images of the City of Light into an inspiring and surprising visual treat on your iPhone or iPad. With more than 4,000 stunning photographs, the app makes it easy to find your way through the beauty of Paris, deepen your exploration and quickly find whatever interests you. Whether it is art, architecture, cafes, castles, fashion, history, romantic sights, shopping or street life...everything is at your fingertips.
"We created this app for the people who dream of Paris. It is a fun way to discover and explore the city without leaving your home," said Jean-Marie Hullot, CEO, Fotopedia. "It is not a travel guide, it is an app to explore, learn and get inspired. Others may help you find where to stay, eat or spend money; the question we answer is: what would you like to see? If Paris evokes wonder, curiosity or nostalgia in you, this app will most likely satisfy and surprise you at the same time."
"Fotopedia Paris" is a visual journey, allowing each person to explore the most familiar or the most unexpected sights. Browsing through the photos on your iPhone or iPad, you can choose from many virtual excursions such as a walk around Montmartre or the grandeur of Versailles, or you can build your own tours by simply picking your favorite photos. Fotopedia Paris does the rest, creating an interactive map to help you further explore your own personal view of the city.
Packed with unexpected picturesque gems - such as a 1st century, Gallo-Roman amphitheater, spectacular catacombs, quaint islands, the final resting places of Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison, truly royal apartments and Paris' own Statue of Liberty - "Fotopedia Paris" is guaranteed to delight and surprise even those who think they know Paris very well.
Thousands of photographers from around the world contributed their best photos to this collection. As a result, this app is a deep insider view into the city, always fresh with new photos being added all the time. Anyone can join and take part in bringing photos of Paris or their favorite cities on Fotopedia.com.
