Start the day with a Paris quest, a French song, a literary quote, and Antoine, the in-app AI companion for life in France. 14 days free.
L'Aube is a daily ritual for life in France. Each morning brings one small Paris quest, one French song, one literary quote, and a quiet conversation with Antoine — the gentle AI companion inside the app.
Built for slow, steady weeks: a warm morning idea, a walkable plan, a few useful French phrases, and a soft way to look back on the day.
For long-stay travelers, new arrivals, Francophiles at home, and anyone settling into Paris.
Antoine adapts to your home base, your interests, your French level, your comfort with technology, and the reflections you choose to share. Over time, L'Aube learns what kinds of mornings feel energizing and what kinds of places make Paris feel more approachable. The voice is calm and France-literate — closer to a friend who has lived in the city for years than to a tour guide.
Each day, you can ask Antoine for help shaping a small outing, understanding a neighborhood, or saying a phrase a bit more naturally. You can save a private reflection at the end of a quest, with or without a photo — these stay yours, summarized into Antoine's memory rather than fed back as raw text.
Beyond the daily quest, Trails are slower side-projects you can collect at your own pace: three baguettes blind from three different boulangeries; five cheeses by region; a quiet circuit of small museums. The Journey screen shows the year so far, day by day, with the spaces you have visited and the songs you have heard.
L'Aube is English-first and is built specifically for life in Paris and France. It is a cultural companion, not a medical, legal, financial, or administrative advisor. For visa, health, banking, or tax questions, please use the appropriate official channel.
