Hi Marc,
I' using your data for France and running into some problems with districts of large cities.
Example: Lyon - 1st district has the following postal code: 69001
But this is not what is pulled up from the existing data and so it is matched to another city, Affoux, which has its own post code. (See below)
I would like to correct the data for districts ('arrondissements') in Lyon and Marseille. How would I do that?
Thanks,
Chloé

I can not see an error with Affoux. It has the postal code 69170 and the insee code 69001. These are two different codes, when searching for the number '69001' you don't say that you mean postalcode and not insee code.
If you only want to see postal code then you have to use the corresponding search (the postal codes search or the general search with name_equals).

Best

Thanks for clearing that up Marc. Our system is confusing postal and fips codes.
