Turn your steps into a journey across France, from Dunkirk to Cerbère!
Every step you take becomes part of a journey across France.
"France Walk Nomad" is a walking-habit app that turns the steps you actually take each day into a virtual journey on the map. Start in Dunkirk, at the northern tip of France, and walk all the way south through Paris, the Loire Valley, the Massif Central and the Mediterranean coast to Cerbère, on the Spanish border.
■ Your steps become real distance
France Walk Nomad connects with Health Connect and automatically reads the steps recorded by your phone or wearable device. Every step you take moves you further along the map, and kilometres on the screen add up to a real feeling of travelling across a whole country.
■ Choose your own path
The destination is fixed, but the route there is entirely up to you. Take as many detours as you like, from the beaches of Normandy and Brittany to the Alps, the Pyrenees, Provence and the Atlantic coast.
■ A journey past famous landmarks
More than 120 famous sights appear along your route, including the Eiffel Tower, Mont-Saint-Michel, the Palace of Versailles, the châteaux of the Loire, Étretat, the Dune du Pilat, the Pont du Gard, Carcassonne and the Gorges du Verdon.
■ Milestone cities along the way
Keep an eye out for signposts along the route, with milestone badges at Lille, Arras, Compiègne, Paris, Orléans, Bourges, Moulins, Clermont-Ferrand, Le Puy-en-Velay, Mende, Millau, Béziers, Narbonne and Perpignan.
■ Arukyun shares local comments
When you arrive at a new place, Arukyun, the app's original alien character who is curious about everywhere you walk, shares fun local facts and comments about it, with notes prepared for every one of the 1,232 districts on the map. Comments are available in English and French, and you can show both side by side.
■ Conquer the map
Your Coverage Map fills in as you reach each district (the area of an intercommunality). Earn conquest badges for each of the 12 regions of metropolitan France and then for the whole country. There are 177 badges to collect in all.
■ Reach the goal, then turn around and go again
Once you reach Cerbère, you turn around and start a new lap heading back to Dunkirk. You earn a goal badge for every lap, so every journey feels fresh.
■ Find places nearby
See what's around your current position on the map and open it in Google Maps, which can double as inspiration for planning a real trip.
■ Free version and Full Version
The free version lets you walk freely across the northern part of the route, from Dunkirk through Lille to the area around Paris. Upgrade to the Full Version (one-time purchase, no subscription) to unlock the rest of the route south to the Mediterranean.
■ Who it's for
- Anyone who wants to build a walking or strolling habit
- Anyone who wants to stay mindful of their daily step count for their health
