The first space invader put up after the lockdown in France which ended on May 11, exactly the day Nina Simone appeared on the wall here.
This invader attracts a lot of attention, you don't see Nina Simone every day! The tour guide in the picture was explaining the phenomenon space invaders and is a player of FlashInvaders as well (like more than 137,000 as we speak, 31/07/2020).

Space invader number 1642 in the world has been re-activated and therefor a revisit gave me 30 extra points on FlashInvaders. And this neighborhood is anything but a punishment to walk through. The man in the middle of the street was focussed on the Moulin de la Galette.

Another beautiful re-activated space invader with mirroreyes from which I have never seen the original. PA_1221 is within walking distance and almost flashable from the same point of view. Oldest photo on Flickr of the original is made by Tofz4u in June 2003.
The magic of finding a space invaders by a group of American tourist just leaving the métro station of line 7. I pointed out that there was another one, PA_1221 and they were even more happy!

In the night of 23/03/2016 three new space invaders were installed in Paris, all in the 15ème arrondissement (PA_1196 thru PA_1198). This blue 'art deco' shaped space invader is one of them. One of the most succesdful space invader hunters on this planet (JOETHECRAB_1, rank #06, 1340 space invaders seen and flashed, 39430 points on 27/07/2016) was willing to strike a pose in front of this new invader less than one day after invasion.

Just flashed my 1503th space invader here...
Location: Place Rhin-et-Danube, Paris 19ème, France.
Coordinates: Click on the link to see the exact location where this photo was taken:
Reason: During my 908th découcher (overnight) in Paris my mission was to visit this space invader which I never flashed before. And that while this is already the third PA_984 after being removed from the wall twice.
PA_984: The original space invader was installed by Invader on 15/05/2011/ It was in 2011 the 2539th space invader of the world made by Invader. Deleted in 2014/2015. First re-activation took place in 2017 and this was deleted in 2021. This version number 3 of PA_984 and finally flashed by me.

This PA_984 was my 1250th space invader in Paris I flashed out of the 1485 space invaders in Paris (April 2023).

PA_1478 [30 points]
This one is the first of a series of CryptoPunks mosaïcs made by Invader. CryptoPunks is a non-fungible token (NFT) collection on the Ethereum blockchain. The project was launched in June 2017 by the Larva Labs studio, a two-person team consisting of Canadian software developers Matt Hall and John Watkinson. The experimental project was inspired by the London punk scenes, the cyberpunk movement, and electronic music artists Daft Punk. There are 10,000 unique CryptoPunks (6,039 male and 3,840 female), all of which are made digitally scarce through the use of blockchain technology. Each one was algorithmically generated through computer code and thus no two characters are exactly alike, with some traits being rarer than others.
But this Cryptopunk PA_1478 is not a NFT anymore! He stands now on a façade in Paris, just above the place where New Rose, the legendary records shop and label was. [ # Invaderwashere ]

Quai d'Orsay: The Quai d'Orday is a quay in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. It is part of the left bank of the Seine opposite the Place de la Concorde.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located on the Quai d'Orsay, between the Esplanade des Invalides and the National Assembly at the Palais Bourbon, and thus the ministry is often called the Quai d'Orsay by metonymy. The building containing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was built between 1844 and 1855 by Jacques Lacornée. The statues of the facade were created by the sculptor Henri de Triqueti (1870). The Treaty of Versailles (1919) was negotiated and written at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The quai d'Orsay has a length of 1270. meters and a width of 29 meters.

A re-activation of a space invader of which I have never seen the original. The original location is right at the other side of the street (PA_42 by Tofz4u). Sometimes it's better to have a good reactivation than one at the exact location. There is hope for a lot space invaders to be re-activated.

On the night of February 19th, Invader added four space invaders in Paris. A striking detail is that these four (PA_1556 through PA_1559) use a new type of mosaic tile with a slightly curved front. I'm posting these four in the order I visited and flashed them. I came to Paris on the beautiful sunny day of February 25th to photograph these four in good lighting conditions. Happy that my favorite island in the Seine has been invaded again for the 8th time in hisotry.

This one I was forgotten to flash ever since I started with the online game FlashInvaders (as we speak -September 2022- more than 250.000 players and more than 15 million flashes made). This one is a bit hidden away in an alley but well seen from the street.

Will we ever know where a pirate's flag is from. We have seen pirate flags before; PA_646, PA_674, PA_675 and PA_680. This binary pirate flag is different but now with a flagpole.

Invader likes to make such tiled poster mosaics in recent years. This one is located in the neighbourhood Préfecture not far from the Cours Julien.
Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.

The first space invader I "flashed" after the lockdown in Paris. It couldn't be more topical than this. 2020 is the year of the pandemic and Invader was also in lockdown from mid-March to 11 May.

A big green invader in a narrow street in the 15ème arrondissement of Paris. Invaded in covid-19 times with curfew. A few weeks later Paris was in a kind of lockdown again. It was the 3956th space invader in the world.

Due to covid-19 I was forgotten to visit this re-activated space invader in the 16ème arrondissement. The re-activation is aronnd two years ago before I visited this one. According to Invader this is a CAMO space invader because it has the colors of a streetname sign. The traffic light beggar provided some animation for my photo luckily.

PA_297 [10 points]
A ground invader about three and a half years after re-activation. This type has a very hard time because they are constantly being trampled. But this one has held up well so far. PA_297 is part of 10 "ground" space invaders have been re-activated in June 2020. Time for a revisit with a WOFT photo ("What's On Foot Today")

This space invader could be seen from a distance from the hill of Notre-Dame de la Garde. I went down to the scene to flash and capture this one. It was my 1404th space invader flashed.
Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.
