Géoportail: new search engine
More functionalities and more user-friendly: with Géoportail you can now search for places by address or get to a particular place or point more quickly and easily by entering its geographical coordinates.
“Go to” an address…
To get to the address of your choice: just go to the Géoportail home page or viewing function (“View” tab), enter the street name and number, then the name of the commune and click on “Go”.
“Go to…” a commune
It’s still easy to get to one of France’s 36,685 communes: just go to the Géoportail home page or viewing function (“View” tab), click on “Name of the commune” then click on “Go”.
Advanced search
The advanced search function (click on ‘Advanced search’ on the home page or the Géoportail viewing page) enables you to get to a commune or place, address or precise point identified by geographical coordinates, by clicking on the corresponding icon.
