Websites providing photos/"walks"/maps of neighborhoods
Many of us are familiar with the wonderful website of the pages jaunes, in which you're able to get a look at any neighborhood in Paris (and other French cities - Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, strabourg & Toulouse):<BR><BR>http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pj.cgi?<BR><BR>(You type in the street address and city, and it will link you to a photo of the building's facade. You can then use arrows to "walk" up and down the street, around the corner, etc.)<BR><BR>I recently found a similar site for Madrid and Barcelona, Spain:<BR><BR>http://fotos.qdq.com/<BR><BR>Does anyone know of sites like this for other European countries/cities? I love being able to "see" where I'll be staying before I book my hotels.<BR><BR>

Wow! Mary C posted that in a response to one of my questions a little while ago. I haven't had the chance to check it out yet. I had no idea it was that cool!<BR>It is so very hard to find good maps, etc. I'm sure this will be a very valuable tool.<BR>Thanks again!

Jim -<BR><BR>Thanks for the reminder about the Channels site! I think I saw it when I was researching a London trip some time ago, and it had slipped my mind. The main Europe site is: http://www.europe.cx/<BR><BR>It's available for Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, London, and Paris.<BR><BR>There is a website for the Italian yellow pages, but no photos/maps, apparently:<BR><BR>http://paginegialle.virgilio.it/pg/index1.html<BR>

Lesli:<BR><BR>You might enjoy this website: http://www.basel.ch.<BR><BR>Near the top of the right side there is the link to the English site.<BR><BR>On the right sideboard you will find "enjoy the virtual city tour", a link to a succession of 360° panoramic views of slanes and neighbourhoods of the city, including access to certain buldings (museums, city hall etc.). the navigation is quite straightforward.<BR><BR>enjoy.<BR><BR>Phil.

Hey Quinty, you have to mess around with it a bit but Les Pages Jaunes is SO COOL! I give my eternal thanks to Elaine who told me about it in her now-famous Paris file. Like Elaine says, you can "walk" down the streets of Paris using this great tool.

I just re-discovered this post and thought I'd top it... I remember first coming across it when we were planning our Barcelona trip. And now I am going to enjoy the Paris link as we plan our next trip!!
