Soundwalk Paris St Germain des prés (EN - Gift)
Soundwalks are walking audio tours that use the cityscape as a backdrop for a fiction, like in a movie. The visitor downloads a Soundwalk on his iPhone, and takes a one-hour tour guided by the voice of an iconic figure from the city.
"Voted #1 Walking Tour"- New York Magazine
"Soundwalk Turns NYC Tourists into Natives"- ABC News
"The tours - narrated by locals and flavored with quotes and anecdotes from neighborhood characters - let you act natural and lead you into places most out-of-towners would be afraid to go."- Time Out
"Soundwalk's neighborhood-specific programs weave through both well-known haunts and off-the-map spots, giving listeners the inside dope on what makes an area tick."- Village Voice
"What Soundwalk has to offer is amazing.The genuine idea is to engage a famous person (an actor or writer for instance) to talk about some neighborhood of the city so you could experience Paris beyond standard touristic offering. All this is followed by the unique sound track, plus there are custom maps with points of interest and walking directions — creating a fun and learning experience, as a result."- IntoMobile
"A Soundwalk is a new and ingenious kind of audio walking tour, one that's designed - through a sophisticated mix of 'insider' narrative, music, and sound effects - to provide a revitalized awareness of the NY neighborhood."- NY Times
"Soundwalks - a hip series of audio walking tours - are like movies you can stroll through"- Time Magazine
A RENDEZ-VOUS IN SAINT-GERMAIN-DES-PRES WITH VIRGINIE LEDOYEN
Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a mythical area of Paris, is narrated by Virginie Ledoyen with an original soundtrack composed by Benjamin Biolay. This Soundwalk is a love story punctuated by anecdotes, historical facts, and interviews with residents like Jane Birkin & Gabriel Matzneff.
Virginie Ledoyen is sitting at the Café de Flore. A man passes by. She feels attracted to him, and decides to follow him across Saint-Germain-des-Prés, taking us for a walk around this mythical neighborhood of Paris, where the streets are still haunted by the ghosts of Picasso, Apollinaire, Sartre and Beauvoir, Oscar Wilde... She follows the stranger from a distance, loses track of him, and then finds him again... It is a game of cat and mouse between the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the National Academy of Fine Arts, between secret courtyards and art galleries. The stranger is Benjamin Biolay, who composed the soundtrack of this poetic and mysterious Soundwalk.
