This is an creative, inspiring use of the Google Places API. Working together with Promenades Sonores, Google has created a beautiful virtual tour of a night walk around Marseille, France. This is a good chance to see an intimate view of a neighborhood in Marseille, a demonstration of how the Google Places API can be used.
Google has created the equivalent of a museum-like guided tour of Marseille complete with street view photos and audio. A mini-map in the bottom left-hand corner displays your progress through the city. If you’re feeling impatient, you can expand the tool and click on the route to instantly jump ahead. Certain hotspots trigger YouTube clips, Wikipedia extracts and photo galleries, creating a multi-layered experience that’s far more rewarding and engaging than Street View on its own. Another good score from Google!
