So you must choose : Plus de service/pages > jaunes/villes en direct/vues aérienne to find the address search > engine... I've just discovered that once you have choosen a place with the address search engine in "villes en direct" "vues aérienne" (1) of : http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pb.cgi? or clicked on the map until to find a photo, you can use the roller of the mouse to enlarge and reduce exactly as on Google Earth, even to the size of all France... (the white spots can then be easily checked at national level at the scale 1/70 km for ex !!!). Hope geoportail will add these improvements soon... So it's easier to use than http://www.geoportail.fr ! You can as well pass from topographic map to the corresponding photo and vice versa to know where you exactly are. You can search with the city name only but it doesn't offer you a choice when there are several cities with the same name like on geoportail ! So search a nearby knowned bigger town (préfecture), then an activity in this town (mairie), with the white rectangle below, to find the 2 digits departement number (Paris = 75), then add this number to the city name search. didier Meurgues
