Any time we go for a drive in the countryside, I always wonder where the side roads lead. It is the same on my virtual bike trip in France. One of the limitations of virtual travel is that I cannot just get off my bike and walk down an interesting side road.
Sometimes Street View gives a very good idea of what I would find if I walked down one of those roads. Perhaps a mansion and beautifully kept grounds …

Sometimes the way is mysterious and I can only imagine what must lie beyond the view …

Sometimes there is just a glimpse of a yard or a house …

Sometimes I know that beyond my view is a broad beach of white sand and the sound of the ocean …
