Bordeaux: a hidden feature of Google Maps allows you to travel back in time

Here's a little surprise that should delight fans of the city of Bordeaux... We stumbled upon a hidden feature of Google Maps that allows you to discover the same place in different years. A simple manipulation gives you access to archived photos from Street View and provides a (small) journey back in time to compare and see the evolution of a building, a square, or an address over the years. Bordeaux: from the shadow city to the light To access this feature, simply follow these steps: type "Bordeaux" (or the name of another city) into the Google Maps search bar. Then, click on Pegman, the little orange man in the bottom right corner of the screen, and move him to where you want to go. In Street View mode, you will see a small clock in the top left corner of the screen if the chosen address has archived images. A timeline with several.Different clichés taken at intervals of several years then appear. A good way to see the evolution of a neighborhood or a iconic establishment under construction. Okay, we admit it, we're far from a dizzying leap through time, but we assure you that some places have changed a lot in a short amount of time. Can you find them again?
