ParisAppTours: Beware Mme la Guillotine, A Revolutionary Tour of Paris
I've just been introduced to, and watched this video for a fantastic looking app called Beware Mme la Guillotine, A Revolutionary Tour of Paris. It is described by the School Library Journal as:
"Drama of historical proportions, an awesome guide, and games and challenges, what more could a teen on vacation ask for? In Beware Madame La Guillotine (Time Traveler Tours, LLC) Sarah Towle offers iPhone and iPod users a tour through the streets of Paris with stops at the sites associated with the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Their guide? Charlotte Corday, the 24-year-old from Normandy who killed journalist and Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat in his bath in 1793.
A storyteller’s pacing, choice details, archival images, and music punctuate and propel Corday’s gripping first-person narration and tour forward. En route, listeners can stop to access travel directions, street and site maps, and related information about people and the times, and “challenges” that will encourage them to observe their surroundings."
The app costs $5.49 from the iTunes store.
