The sites of French fortresses of Louis XIV's time have been found from studying aerial photos. You can also sometimes locate the sites of ancient forests, using Google Earth.

@dede18 I enjoy picking small towns at random, in the UK, France, Switzerland, and Italy. I enlarge the image, until it turns horizontal, and it feels like I'm driving a car up and down the streets, and roads. I can't afford to travel. So Google Earth makes a good substitute!

@dede18Once, I was "driving" down a street in Belfast, N.I., and a pair of girls on the sidewalk, flipped the 'bird' at the Google camera car!
