Over / The device fleet
Not one audio guide left to charge
No recharging, no cleaning, no repairs, no stocktaking, no deposit at the desk. Your visitor's phone does all the work, and they already have it in their pocket.

voir ça.
Your places hold a thousand stories: in their walls, their paths,
their landscapes.
Your visitors put their headphones on and wander: the stories, the
voices, the ambiences play by themselves, in binaural sound,
exactly where they were lived.
The screen stays in the pocket.
Nothing to install: the tour opens in your visitor's phone browser. Headphones recommended — that's where the magic happens.

What you stop managing — and what you gain
Audio guides cost you hardware, staff and time. Here there is no fleet to buy and none to maintain.
Over / The tech
You keep the story, we take the plumbing
Hosting, updates, delivery, iOS and Android compatibility: that's our job. Yours is to fix a date or add a voice in one click, remotely, with nobody driving out to the site.
Back / Your team's time
Your staff return to the welcome desk
No more handing out devices and collecting them at the end of the visit. Your guides and front-of-house teams are free again for what they do best: welcoming people and telling stories.
Gained / Beyond the walls
The visit leaves the grounds
A historic centre, a trail, a garden, the approach to the estate: the tour reaches as far as your territory does, without a metre of cable or one more sign.
How it works — for visitors, there's nothing to do
A link or a QR code at the entrance, once. After that, nothing: no app to download, no beacon to find, no screen to check.
01 / They walk
The wander begins
The app knows where they are and keeps watch in silence. They just enjoy the place.
02 / They listen
A voice rises
At the right spot it reaches their ears in binaural sound: a 360° immersion, voices and ambiences placed all around them, like a guide walking beside them.
03 / They look
They look up
No screen to check. Your site becomes the picture, your story becomes the guide.
Who writes it, who records it?
That's the first thing people ask us. Three answers, depending on your means and your appetite — and you can move between them along the way.
On your own
You do it all yourself
That is exactly what the creation studio is for: lay out your tour, drop the zones on the map, upload or record your sounds. No technical skills required.
With training
Your teams take over
A hands-on session with your guides, your heritage department or your communications team: they leave able to create, edit and publish on their own.
With a professional · optional
We produce it with you
An author and a sound engineer work alongside you: writing, voices, recording, binaural mixing. For a production-grade result, when the stakes call for it.
What you can do with it
The same tool, three very different ways of using it. None of these boxes fits you? Tell us — those are our favourite calls.
Local authority · Territory
The territory speaks up
- Historic centre tours, interpretation trails, nature loops
- The memory of places, gathered from those who live there
- Content tied to the moment: season, market day, event, public holiday
- One tour per audience: families, school groups, heritage lovers
Museum · Castle · Monument
The visit, reinvented
- The whole visit without handing out a single device
- Short, children's, expert or multilingual versions of the same route
- Beyond the walls: gardens, surroundings, village, outbuildings
- A temporary exhibition published — and withdrawn — in one click
Park · Garden · Nature site
The landscape turns to sound
- Soundscapes: the wildlife, the water, the wind, the night
- Awareness raised while walking, without another sign to install
- Content that shifts with the seasons
- An artist's work laid over your paths, for one summer
Memory has an address
The finest podcast of all: the one you visit
Gather the voices of your residents right where their stories happened: a retired worker at the factory gate, a baker in her bakehouse. Every voice stays pinned to its place, and your heritage archive grows by itself.
One day their grandchildren will walk past that fountain. And they will hear their great-grandmother. That's the echo.

What you can count on
You are committing public money and the reputation of your institution. Here is what we stand behind.
-
Sovereignty
Hosted in France
Servers and data with French providers, outside the reach of the Cloud Act.
-
Privacy
GPS stays on the phone
Without the visitor's explicit permission, their coordinates never leave their device. Only the zones walked through and the sounds heard come back to us: enough to feed your statistics, not to track anyone.
-
GDPR
Consent, transparency, erasure
Information and consent screens, plain terms of use, right to be forgotten honoured. Nothing plays before the visitor has said yes.
-
Accessibility
A visit you listen to
An audio-first format already benefits visually impaired visitors, and a tour can carry transcripts too. These uses we want to build with disability organisations, not on their behalf.
-
Frugality
Eco-designed, down to the server
Adiabatic-cooled hosting, compressed audio, an app that runs with the screen off: less data, less energy.
-
Rights & moderation
Content whose origin we control
Checks on uploaded content, a commitment from every author on the rights to the sounds they use, and a built-in reporting feature.
The budget
Free for your visitors. Funded by you.
From€90per month
A monthly subscription with visitor credits: you pay for actual use, not for a fleet of hardware sleeping in a cupboard all winter. And if your season is short, so is your subscription.
- Fits cultural outreach funding schemes
- No capital spending on hardware
- Nothing to pay for the visitor
- No advertising, ever — that's a principle
Quotes tailored to your public procurement process, on request.

2026 pilot programme
We are looking for our first sites
EMVC is young, and we own it: rather than lining up borrowed references, we are putting together a small group of pilot sites. Close support, preferential pricing, and a say in what the tool becomes.
Apply as a pilot siteLet's talk about your place
Tell us about your site, your territory or your collection: we'll show you what it sounds like at your place, headphones on. The demo happens on your ground, not on a slide deck.
