About
Epic Road Trip helps you prepare a road trip across France: set a start, a finish and a few stops, then discover where to eat, sleep and explore at every stop.
The story
2024 — a team project at Epitech Marseille
Four students build the first version: a React interface, a Node.js API and a Python microservice using DataTourisme data. The brief: enter several stops, filter by dates, suggest places to stay, restaurants, bars, transport and events, show everything on a map, print and share the trip.
2026 — the full redesign
A new identity inspired by road atlases and French road signs, real car, bike and walking routes, hundreds of thousands of OpenStreetMap places, sharing by link and QR code with no account, an installable app, an English version, legal pages, RGAA accessibility and self-hosted deployment.
