The comparison between the APE cache and this geotour doesn't make sense to me. A.P.E. caches are/were ambitious, creative, and faithful to the concept of our game, despise the commercial partnership. None of this is true with the Paris Geotour, it really looks like they hardly understand what geocaching is about. You're talking about "unique aspect of our game", none of the geocaches from the Bion tour seems unique, they don't even try to be. Also i cannot see where is the "similar spirit" you are talking about, it's night and day to me.

Dear Groundspeak, I strongly share the same opinion than the others french geocachers who posted before me, so i will try to no repeat what they said. I really don't understand what you have done with this particular GeoTour, it's the first time i am truly disappointed by one of your action. Bion3 has obviously nothing to do with anything related to geocaching. I'm utterly bothered by the fact that money seems to be the exact thing that create the confusion of understanding between Groundspeak and the french community. The free, add-free, generous and volunteering part of this awesome game as always be something precious for me since i know geocaching. As i'm sure you have noticed, this commercial operation with Bion3 was not at all well-received, so i hope that you'll not expense it to another cities from France or elsewhere. Best regards, Shabby_
