LoveQR widget for tourist offices and municipalities
By Adrien Gisclon, founder of LoveQR. Published on 17 September 2026. Updated on 27 September 2026.
In brief: your official agenda lists what has been declared. The LoveQR widget shows what is actually happening on the ground: places, points of interest, events and posts left on the spot, within up to 5 km around the point of your choice. It displays in the 11 LoveQR languages, following the language of your page, sets no tracking cookie, and embeds with code you paste.
Two sources that don't replace each other
A municipality or tourist office website relies on validated information, entered by hand, necessarily partial and always behind what happens on the ground. The widget brings the other half, the one that comes up from residents and visitors.
🏛️Your official agenda
- Declared and authorised events
- Reliable administrative information
- Written and validated by your teams
- Updated when your teams have time
🌍The LoveQR widget
- Places and points of interest in the area
- Events and activities announced from the ground
- Public posts left on the spot
- Updated continuously, with no data entry
Side by side, the two make a living page that stays useful between updates.
Where to place it
The “What to do”, “Going out” or “Agenda” page
Below your official agenda, a “Right now around us” block centred on the heart of the village or town.
One page per village or district
The radius goes up to 5 km. On a wide territory, place one widget per village, each centred on its own point, rather than a single widget for everything.
The welcome page for new residents
Arriving in a municipality where you know nobody is hard. Seeing the places, activities and events of the area in one place helps more than a directory.
Printed materials and noticeboards
A QR code pointing to the page that carries the widget extends a town map, a noticeboard, a hiking map or an event flyer.
A screen at the front desk
In the lobby of the tourist office or the town hall, the “Full LoveQR” widget fits on a tablet and makes good use of waiting time.
Foreign visitors, with no extra translation
The widget interface and all detail cards (activities, events, places, points of interest) exist in the 11 LoveQR languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Ukrainian.
The widget automatically follows the language of the page hosting it, by reading its lang attribute. If your tourism site exists in three or four languages, the same code pasted on each version will display in the right language, with no translation work on your side.
For an administration, the absence of tracking cookies and advertising avoids the usual discussions about third-party embeds. Details of data processing are on the privacy page.
Embedding, in practice
- Choose the centre point: the name of the place, coordinates, or the option that requests the visitor's position.
- Choose the theme: normal, dark or light, to match your visual identity.
- Copy the code offered by the generator, as an iframe or a script, on the API and widgets page.
- Paste it into your CMS, in an HTML block on the relevant page. The widget is responsive and takes the width of its container.
Widgets attached to a specific venue are reserved for professionals who have claimed that venue, fixed or temporary, and their code is generated from the Pro area.
Bring the area to life, not just display it
A widget shows what exists. In a municipality that is just starting out, it will mostly show places and few posts. Three simple actions change that:
- Publish your own events on the cards of the places concerned: they then appear in the widget and in the area's AR view.
- Invite local players (associations, shops, clubs, organisers) to do the same for their events.
- Display a QR code at the office, on noticeboards and in brochures, so visitors and residents feed the area in turn.
To be said clearly internally. This is not an institutional communication tool: the content comes from members, and you don't write it. That is precisely what makes it useful, but it means accepting information that doesn't go through your validation. Public content remains subject to LoveQR's terms of use, and problematic content can be reported from the Help page.
Frequently asked questions
Does the widget replace the municipality's official agenda?
No, it completes it. The official agenda lists what has been declared and approved. The widget shows what comes up from the ground: places, points of interest, events and public posts left on the spot, updated continuously and with no data entry.
Does the widget raise cookie or GDPR issues?
LoveQR uses no tracking cookies and no third-party analytics, and the widget exposes only public data: no intimate profile, no exact position of any person. Data is hosted in the European Union (Germany), in line with the GDPR and the Swiss nFADP. For a public body, that avoids the usual complications of third-party embeds.
What area does the widget cover?
Up to 5 km around the chosen point, like the augmented reality scene. For a wide territory, best practice is one widget per village or district, each centred on its own point.
Does the widget speak foreign visitors' languages?
Yes. The interface and the detail cards exist in the 11 LoveQR languages, and the widget automatically follows the language of the page hosting it. A multilingual tourism site therefore needs only one embed code.
Can local associations and shops post there?
Yes. Anyone signed in can publish content or an event on a place card, and that content joins the LoveQR network, so it also appears in the area's AR view. Widgets for a specific venue, however, are reserved for professionals who have claimed it.
What does it cost a municipality?
The widget generator and the public API are free. Embedding means pasting code into a page, as an iframe or as a script.
