When not hunting active on space invaders because you haven't done any home work where to go and search you keep on looking around, below and above because you know there are in total 150 space invaders waiting for you. This one found by incident near the station London Bridge in the area called Southwark. The last space invader Invader put up during the 6th invasion wave in London.
Deleted in 2008 and re-activated in 2017, thanks Google Streetview!

LCT_07 [50 points]
The sea resort town of La Ciotat has been invaded as well. As we speak (January 2016) a total of 9 invaders installed during 4 waves. This one with FlashInvader colors was installed in the Summer of 2014. Just for the record, it was my personal 350th space invader flashed with the application FlashInvaders.
We didn't have the time to hunt for some other space invaders in La Ciotat. We know there are a few more including a good re-activated one.

MARS_74 [30 points]
I had to take the bus for it, had to walk a long way and eventually it turned out that the site was closed due to a major renovation. And it was too far for the FlashInvaders application to recognize it. And the space invader was already badly damaged. The 30 points were not awarded to me.
MARS_74 sits on the wall of the Musée d'art contemporain de la Ville de Marseille (mac), closed at the moment.
Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 and 3 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 4 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.

INVASION OF THE CÔTE D’AZUR
In the year 2007 Invader has invaded the entire coast of the French Rivièra. Instead of only one city he made a project of an entire region; Côte d’Azur. Spread out from La Ciotat to the Menton near the border of Italy.
The first wave consisted of 35 space invaders spread out over 24 cities with a total score of 990 points. In 2016 Invader put one invader up in Cavalaire-sur-Mer (CAZ_36) and in 2017 wave number 3 consisted another single one (CAZ_37).
Lots of them have been deleted throughout the years but there are already are about 9 space invaders re-activated.
AMI_05 [50 points]
A black and white runner in the lake of Parc Saint-Pierre located north of the center of Amiens. A 20 minute beautiful walk.
Album on FlickR:
On June 12, 2025, the news came that the northern French city of Amiens had been visited by my favorite artist Invader. In total he installed 16 space invaders. In the days that followed, the idea came to visit Amiens on the weekend of June 28 and 29 to search, capture and flash them. And so it happened..

The oldest space invader made by Invader on the world at the moment. The invasion in Paris started in 1996 with number one and the real invasion started in 1998. PA_001 till PA_004 have been deleted (although PA_001 is still there but covered with stucco work). After this one there are more than 1080 appeared in Paris alone and another more than 1000 worldwide. Time for a revisit and flashback.

Never seen the original of this Rubik space invader in the 6ème arrondissement during its 1 year and about 3 months of presence in this busy street. Thanks to the re-activation team this one is back where it belongs.

Finally I have a better close-up of PA_584 in the only street in Paris named after my hometown in the Netherlands. This Pac Man was the last invader I flashed during my 3 day stay in Paris in the Summer of 2020 after the lockdown. The score is that I flashed in total 40 space invaders (new, re-activated and never revisited older invaders) worth in total 1070 points and I went up in rank from 505 to 454.
My total score is now 38,740 points, 1,336 invaders of which 1,138 out of 1,446 in Paris. On 20/07/2020 there were more than 136,670 FlashInvaders players.

PA_583 [20 points]
Because of the addictive online game 'FlashInvaders' I feel myself urged to revisit a lot of Paris space invaders. Also this one on a not so beautiful location hidden behind Gare Saint-Lazare in the 8ème arrondissement. This Pac Man space invader is almost 10 years active and still in good shape. Invader did a lot of Pac Mans around 2005 and this one is one of the examples which is still visible and "flashable".

In January 2016 Clermont-Ferrand was invaded again, the 3rd invasion wave took place:
"At the occasion of the screening of the very last version of the movie Art4Sspace at the Interntional Short Film Festival of Clermont-Ferrand, I have added 31 new creations to the city of the center of France. Among various themes, they refer to movies and cinema but also to what Clermont Ferrand is famous for : its gothic cathedrale, its volcanos, its Michelin factories and its Serge Gainsbourg street" (Invader)

This red "here you are" space invader has the funny discription in the application game FlashInvaders, "PONT OF INTEREST!". Which is true, very true.

Another bat space invader. This time in the old center of Montreuil. Worth 50 points for the FlashInvader players. As we speak (02/04/2020) FlashInvaders has 118,000 players of which I am at rank 405.

Another great example of a re-activation where the original location is not really respected. The original videogame invader which I have never seen was located on a concrete pole on the sidewalk. This one is located bit further in the street and on a wall.
Onscreen FlashInvaders message: WELL DONE

A welcome return of a in 2014 destroyed space invader in the 9ème arrondissement. I went to flash this one on a rainy first day of February 2019. Hopefully this time this invader last longer.

FlashInvaders, a very addictive game by Invader : walk, explore cities in the world, make new friends, find Space Invaders mosaïcs, shoot them with your Iphone or Andoïd smartphone and score !
(and be careful when going on the highway ;))

Charlie's Angels in -how very appropriate- Rue des Dames in the 17ème arrondissement. Flashing this one with the app FlashInvaders will result in the flash message "Good Morning Charlie!".
Charlie's Angels is an American crime drama television series that aired on ABC from 1976 to 1981, producing five seasons and 110 episodes. This space invader was number 3449 in the world.

PA_1431 [100 points]
Hiding up in the clouds, PA_1431 is the highest space invader ever placed in Paris. It landed on the top of the Eiffel Tower in November 2019 where it enjoys the great view !
Since the news Invader invaded the top of the Tour Eiffel I had the plan to visit the top of this tower. Then we had the covid-19 pandemic and it was not possible to visit the top of this tower to gain 100 points at an altitude of 281 meters.
