adresse.data.gouv.fr

adresse.data.gouv.fr is the official French government platform for managing and distributing the national reference database of addresses (Base Adresse Nationale). It serves public administrations, businesses, and citizens by providing free, open, and standardized address data to improve geolocation, mail delivery, and digital services. The project is interesting because it transforms a fragmented, inconsistent address system into a single, reliable, and collaborative open-data resource, enabling innovation in logistics, urban planning, and civic tech.
