Hideaway in France - gîtes in the Pyrénées near Carcassonne

Us on Google's Streetmap and satellite images

Link to Google Streetmap

The first of the two images below has been cut from Google streetmap showing the outside of gite Bordeaux, our house and gite Burgundy. If you click on this image it will open a separate window containing Google streetmap positioned to show this view.

The second diagram shows a satellite view on which we have labelled the gites and marked in yellow our boundary; in red the route of the Google streetmap car; and a green arrow showing the position of the streetmap car that we have chosen as the start point.

Click anywhere on either image or this link to open the Google Streetmap window.

As you may know if you are familiar with Streetmap, it works as follows:

• In the top left corner of the picture is a circle with a hand shape in the middle, four arrows around the hand and a square with 'N' in it at the top.
• Click on the arrows to change the point of view, looking up or down or spinning on the spot by clicking left or right.
• If you drag the 'N' box round the circle it also spins the view, but allows you to choose exactly where you wish to stop.
• As you move your mouse over the image, grey lines and arrows will appear.
• Click on one of the arrows and the car will move 10 metres or so down the road in the direction you clicked, showing you a new view from the new location and again allowing you to spin on the spot or look up or down.

When the streetmap view appears, at the far left is our gite 'Bordeaux', adjoining the part of the main farmhouse in which we live. To the right, behind the 'umbrella' pine tree is gite Burgundy. The other gites and the pool are through an entrance hidden from view behind the apricot tree.
