One city.

And now you.
Paris draws the passionate – art lovers, foodies, Francophiles – who come to take a peek at the city’s many must-sees.
This app is designed to help you prioritize the offerings, navigate the city with ease, and change plans on a dime in case of weather, holidays, or one of France’s famous strikes (“en grève”).
Included are all the essential details you’ll need to decide what to visit, when.
Photos and maps make it immensely functional, while tight writing keeps it trim and easy to read.
A wide selection means there’s plenty to choose from – both standbys and surprises.
Oh, and the city’s museums and monuments included in the Paris Museum Pass are in here, too.
Plus information about the monuments, parks, and cemeteries you’ll pass along the way.
Each entry includes hours, admission fees, websites, and tips to help you save time, money, and headaches -- and make the most of your time in the City of Lights!

Customer Reviews
A very lazy attempt.
This app - at $1.99 - does not do for the tourist or art lover what the Internet offers for free. At first glance five wonderful museum/exhibition spaces are absent - and I'm sure there are more. The five I noticed are: Musée Maillol, Musée de la Vie Romantique, Musée Antoine Borudelle, La Maison Rouge, and the Cartier Foundation. All five are destinations that Parisienne's visit as well as tourists.
Also missing (that EVERY French guide includes) are the Metro stops near the Museum or point of interest. And to make any use of this app you MUST be online as there is only exhibition information given by having to visit each museum's personal site - it is not updated and downloaded on the app weekly or monthly.
I would suggest for now to buy a Pariscope - see what is showing and interests you, and then go online to see where it is on a map. I would avoid buying this app as it is an underwhelming attempt to give useful information but an ambitious attempt to make fast money.
