New apps available for travellers in France
30 Apr 2010

Owners of iPhones and similar handheld devices will be able to make use of a number of new applications during a trip to France this year.

The French Government Tourist Office announced that it has developed 38 apps for use on smartphones, which are listed on its website.

Designed to make travellers' stays in the country as easy and enjoyable as possible, the tools are categorised in various sections, including food and wine, destinations, accommodation and transport.

A number of Lonely Planet publications have been made available to smartphone users, as well as a Paris street map and a Google Earth application.

Languedoc-Roussillon and the ski resorts of Val Thorens and Les Menuires are among the locations covered in the destinations section, which also includes a guide to the country's Unesco World Heritage sites.

Travellers can access several different regions of France by catching flights to Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes and various other destinations, which are operated by carriers including easyJet, Air France and Flybe.
