This highly visual way to tell a story was warmly welcomed and some of you asked us how to be more active and create their own stories. We have been working on the best way to make that happen, and today we are releasing Fotopedia Reporter.

Fotopedia Reporter is a brand new app that lets you create your own photo stories to share the things you love with whoever you want. Whether it’s a tour of your town, some hard-hitting reportage, a restaurant review or a story about snails mating at the bottom of your garden, the only limit is your imagination. If you care about something, let it show!

Reporter is available both on the Web and on iPad. Have a look at it, we can’t wait to see your great stories there!

If you are looking for the encyclopedia, the URL has changed and it is now accessible following this link.

Enjoy the app!

From Abondance to Zonza and everywhere in between, Fotopedia invites you to experience the very best of France in thousands of gorgeous photographs. Foodies will discover a multitude of regional specialities. Fashionistas will thrill to the latest styles on the Paris streets. And the 260,000 square miles of this amazingly varied country also promise a lifetime of discovery for architecture lovers, culture vultures, wine fans, hikers, bikers and explorers of all kinds.

You’ll discover France’s most breathtaking sights through the eyes of the people who know them best. And an ever-growing community means there’ll always be more to see.

The app is available for free on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Download Fotopedia France for free on iTunes.

Bon voyage !

2012 passed at speed of light, and we wanted to thank you all for your great work during this year, either by contributing to the encyclopedia project, by downloading and using one of our apps or by constantly sending us great feedback that helped us moving forward.

Stunning full-color photographs from the Fotopedia Community put a whole country at your fingertips. Hundreds of photographers contributed their favourite places and topics to this amazing app, and the ever-growing Fotopedia community means there’s always more to discover!
