Château Royal de Collioure

Château Royal de Collioure

This place was a fortress from the 8th century to the 18th. Wikipedia page here.

Ask Google Map for this place and it shows up on the east coast of France. Yes, France does have an east coast on the Mediterranean. The castle is just a few miles north of the Spanish border.

Google has removed the 3D feature from Google Maps, now you can only get it on Google Earth and it's really slow. Using the 3D view on  Google Maps you turn  your view any which way and it would faithfully follow your mouse. Google Earth takes its own sweet time about responding to mouse inputs, and keeps moving after you have released the mouse. Maybe I need to add a zillion bytes of RAM to my two buck machine. I'm sure Google had a good reason for this change. Maybe my next two buck machine will have the requisite amount of RAM.
