SUMMARY
~ The "traveling public. coming to Paris are
at the mercy of an actual paper map or
prior knowledge of the many sites that we
have to offer in order to visit places of
interest
>> Wayfinding signs eliminates the need for
a paper map and allows the traveler a
more "explore. attitude without the fear of
getting lost or not finding what the are
wanting to see.
