Liboulas is situated close to the mouth of the Gironde estuary, on the west coast of France. The nearest village is Arces sur Gironde (less than 1 mile away). The nearest small towns with supermarkets are Meschers and Cozes.
The nearest airports are Bordeaux and La Rochelle, both about 90 miles away. The nearest ferry port is St Malo, which is about a 5 hour drive. By train, you can travel by Eurostar & TGV to Angouleme, and then by local train to Royan. There is a limited local bus service from Royan to Meschers, so renting a car or bike at Royan is a better option.
How to use Google Maps
Map. This button puts Google Maps in "map" view, which is the default view. This view is similar to a street map. It has a grey background. Small roads are colored white, larger roads are yellow, and major highways and interstates are colored orange.
Satellite. This button paints Google Maps with a Satellite overlay which allows you to see the area as it is seen from above. In this mode, you can zoom in until you can make out individual houses.
Terrain. This button highlights differences in terrain. It can be used to determine whether an area is flat or rocky. This can also give an interesting view when zooming into a mountainous area.
You can also use the navigation menu on the far left side to manipulate the map. This provides an alternative to using drag-and-drop to navigate.
At the top of this navigation menu are four arrows, one pointing in each direction. Clicking on an arrow will move the map in that direction. Clicking on the button in between these arrows will center the map on the default location.
Below these arrows is a plus sign and a minus sign separated by what looks like a railroad track. These buttons allow you to zoom in and out. You can zoom in by clicking on the plus sign and zoom out by clicking on the minus sign. You can also click on a portion of the railroad track to zoom in to that level.
