For weeks, I can't reach qwant maps anymore. Is it down for you guys as well? Does anyone know anything? There isn't even a mention on their main pages of it anymore. They just purged everything without further notice. Is that the same experience for you? I'm accessing with a VPN from within france.

Could be this:

In the short term, the dedicated Qwant Maps application will no longer be maintained, in favour of developing the mapping experience within the search engine, in particular through searches for places or addresses. We are gradually updating our service presentation pages to reflect this change in priorities.

Good find!

The communication could be better than just that for something that goes offline completely 😅
