A cemetery rich in history

The city of Le Mans uses MySmartJourney's technology to capture the attention of tourists and citizens, and convey the city's history.

It has deployed interactive stations in public places to draw people to nearby attractions, and give them the opportunity to learn about Le Mans' extensive cultural offering and rich heritage.

In addition to the MySmartJourney route set up in the heart of the Le Mans metropolis, the city had the ingenious idea of enhancing the Sainte-Croix cemetery to make it a historic place to visit.

A place of remembrance enhanced by digital technology

Of Course Le Mans uses technology to tell the story of the cemetery and keep alive the memory of the great names who left their mark on Le Mans.

Visitors and locals can learn more about the famous people buried there by clicking on posters placed in specific locations around the cemetery. By scanning the QR codes with their cell phones, passers-by can read the stories of those who left their mark, learn about the past of this emblematic city site, and even find out more about funerary art and its symbols.
