I was very lucky to be part of the first space invader tours organized by some of the biggest fans of Invader's work in cooperation with ESTEC. With special thanks to the manager of the Space Expo, Olivier and Invader who brought them together.
After the invasion of ESA (European Space Agency) in Redu Belgium (14 space invaders, 430 points) and Frankfurt (14 space invaders, 430 points), the HQ in Paris also the ESTEC (European Space Research and Technology Centre) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, has been invaded. On June 3, Invader has put up 10 space invaders of which 2 in and on the Space Expo, a permanent space exposition. In total worth 480 points. This operarion of Invader is referred as SPACE2ISS.
This space invader is located at the entrance and security check point of the enormous terrain of ESTEC.

The last and at the time of this upload probably the most recent space invader in Paris. The last one of a series of 5 space invaders installed in the night of the 25th of July 2014. The space invader network in Paris' Chinatown is reinforced!

A space invader hunt in Paris and around Paris took me to Montrouge, the termination point of métro line 4...
Location: Place Émile Cresp, Montrouge, Hauts-de-Seine (92), France
Coordinates: 48° 81 '86" N 2° 31' 94" E
Reason: A day trying to catch up in the field of space invader photography and FlashInvaders. A lot a bit outside Paris, like here in Montrouge. But also in Issy and Bagnolet. In total I found 13 space invaders (of which one 're-activation') and in total 560 points extra on FlashInvaders and climbed up from rank 300 to rank 276. More than 80.000 players at the moment so I am still one of the high scorers.
Montrouge: Montrouge is a commune in the southern Parisian suburbs, located 4.4 km from the centre of Paris, France. It is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe. After a long period of decline, the population has increased again in recent years. Population around 50,000 and elevation 67–85 meters above sealevel. Montrouge is served by the Mairie de Montrouge station on Paris Métro Line 4, and by the Châtillon – Montrouge station on Paris Métro Line 13.
Mairie de Montrouge: At the background not the city hall but the cultural center of Montrouge. the Mairie de Montrouge station was opened on 23 March 2013 as part of the extension of Metro Line 4 to the south. Two further stations (Verdun Sud on Montrouge southern border, and Bagneux) are due to open in 2020.

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM
In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. It was the 8th city in the world being invaded. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. In June 2020 three space invaders were re-activated (RTD_01, 18, 22) which made it possible to have flashed almost all 26 space invaders of Rotterdam. Except for the hidden RTD_26 which will never be re-activated because it was located on a wall near the Centraal Station. The area is redevelopped and the wall isn't there anymore.

A Rubik space invader of which I have never encountered the original in the year 2006. Must have been deleted not very long after invasion. On Google Streetview, PA_651 was already removed in May 2008. Located in the Northern part of the huge 16ème arrondissement.

PA_1126 [30 points]
The first space invader I flashed in Paris with Invader's online game FlashInvaders. A game to spot and "flash" the street mosaics of Invader with a smartphone. You fill gallery, score points and compete with other players. In total there are over 2,500 players around the world who spotted already over 71,000 space invaders and scored over 2.4 million points (data of 03/02/2015). I scored 30 points with this one and 100 bonus points because this was the first one in a new 'city'. For the last 10 years I spotted more than 790 Parisien space invaders without flashing them. Some revisits will have to be done the coming weeks, months, years.
This one is located in the 8ème arrondissment.

PA_183 [10 points]
For years this almost 16 years old space invader was hidden away under a layer of white paint and not unrecognizable as a space invader. At least not for outsiders. Space invader fans in the possession of the book "Invasion of Paris" knew where to go over the years. But always seen with the white paint.
Since the game FlashInvaders was introduced it was necessary to have a well recognizable photo for the appllication to gain the 10 points this PA_183 is worth. And so it happened that one of the space invader fans went out to clean this space invader and safe it for the future and made it 'flashable' for the ones who play FlashInvaders.
