Since this is an all-in-one app, the content is immediately accessible regardless of the network coverage of your location or your cell phone’s data roaming contract . I also tested the experience from home, and loved to be able to travel from one place to another and keep learning new things on my city.
Our vision
The concept of Archistoire is to reveal through a smartphone app the stories of our natural and built landscapes. Beyond the description of what constitutes our heritage, the main purpose is to explain to the general public how our life environments are created.
The authenticity and quality of the content provided by the Archistoire label are based on CAUEs’ 40 years of expertise in the topics covered. The CAUEs are unique tools at the service of the territories, making it possible to offer a cross-fertilized view of the challenges adressed through architecture, urban planning, landscapes and the environment.
Archistoire is the embodiment of the CAUEs’ innovation policy through the use of digital tools to raise awareness on these subjects.
