Visite historique et insolite

A guide through the history of places and people in Paris and elsewhere

A tourist guide on the history of men based on the geolocation of historical facts and anecdotes. The application informs you about the heritage visible around you but also about the events that may have taken place in the street or in your building.

To create the information we use old books or we work in collaboration with associations to give you the exact location of a story.

You may find that in your building lived a famous man, that Zola had his coffee in the same bar as you or that the sidewalk you walked on was a barricade during the Paris commune.

Today, the constantly evolving application covers:

The history of Paris with 9,832 places and 21,850 historical events

The history of the Sarthe department with 1,200 places and 9,000 historical events in text mode

The history of the Ariège department with 1,100 places and 8,000 historical events in text mode.

The history of the Hautes Alpes department with 900 places and 3,500 historical events in text mode.

The history of the departments of Haute Corse and Corse du Sud with 1,150 places and 9,000 historical events in text mode.

Don't look for the information, it comes to you.
