Improve your life in Paris using mobile apps! Do you live in Paris? If you have a smartphone (iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry…) here is a Lodgis listing of the 10 apps that will make your life in Paris easier!
The RATP App
If you don’t have a car or would simply prefer to use public transport (Metro, bus, RER) for whatever reason, you will need this app (metro, bus, RER schedules, different maps).
It will allow you to check when the next Metro or bus arrives at the station, locate the nearest stations from where you are on a map and get useful information about tourist sites…
Either way, this app will plan journeys for you to find the fastest routes around Paris whilst taking account of real time traffic problems.
Available on the App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store: http://www.ratp.fr/fr/ratp/c_21384/application-ratp/
The “Paris-ci la sortie” (du metro) App
This is an other useful app that will help you use public transport. It is a well known fact that Parisians are always in a rush!
This is the perfect app to save you time! The “Paris-ci la sortie” app will enable you to get on the right Metro train so that you get off right next to the exit! (don’t even attempt that without it!)
Available on App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store: http://www.paris-cilasortiedumetro.fr/
The Weather App
There are lots of weather apps already available. You may already have one on your smartphone, but you just can’t live in Paris without a weather app, so that’s why we’re including it in our list of apps.
We recommend the Météo France app.
The weather is always changing in Paris! So check the weather on the app as much as you possibly can!
