SO, one must be deleted - Like COLLANGES, some place (hamlet, port, castle...) have the same name as a town... But it's incorrect to say that these places have a postal code. So we must deleted the corresponding entry (I don't know how works your extractor. Maybe, your little program considers these place as city, but it's false) - Some of this entries are simply false and must be deleted - 2 entries are exceptions : The case of a city which belong to 2 states and which have only one postal code. Be careful, for some correction, I have modified the geographic coordinates, or add admin information or fusion the duplicated entries informations. It will be good if you can report these modifications)  - JAURE For me there is an error... There is only one town called Jaure in France. No geographic coordinates in the french postal code repository matches the real geographic coordinates. I have no explanation about the presence of the two JAURE in the repository (surely the same case of COLLANGES) (Source : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaure) The only entry for this town must be : FR 24140 Jaure Aquitaine 97 Dordogne 24 Arrondissement de Périgueux 243 45.0575 0.5547 5 - COLLANGES See my explanation in my previous answer. The only entry for this town must be : FR 63340 Collanges Auvergne 98 Puy-de-Dôme 63 Arrondissement d'Issoire 633 45.4 3.7833 5 - LOCMALO I was wrong in my previous answer. I have selected the wrong entry to delete. So, it must be only one town town called Locmalo. (The other "Locmalo" is not a town. It's the name of a port in the city called "Lorient") (Source : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locmalo ) The only entry for this town must be (I have change the geographic coordinates to make it more accurate and add other informations) : FR 56160 Locmalo Bretagne A2 Morbihan 56 Arrondissement de Pontivy 562 48.0733 -3.1853 5 - CHAMBON We are in the same case of COLLANGES.

(Source : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vignale_%28commune%29 / http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisinchi) The wrong entry is in fact, the name of a castle near the town of BISINCHI.

In france, there is 2 towns called SAINT-REMIMONT. One of these towns is in the state "Vosges" (code 88) and the other in the state "Meurthe-et-Moselle" (code 54). However, in the repository, there is 3 towns called SAINT-REMIMONT and among them, there is 2 towns in the state "Vosges". One of these 2 towns has the first two digits of its postal code equals to 88 and the other 54. So, the town "SAINT-REMIMONT" which is in the state "Vosges" and which has the first two digits of its postal code equals to 54 must be deleted.

Normally, the couple (town, postal code) must be unique, but this town appears to be an exception... In France, cities are identified by a unique code called "INSEE code". And this town is considered as 2 different town (because there is 2 different INSEE code) but which have the same postal code. (Source : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Pierre-d%27Entremont_(Is%C3%A8re) / http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Pierre-d%27Entremont_(Savoie) ) So, we must delete no entry. - THIEVRES We are in the same case of SAINT-PIERRE-D'ENTREMONT (Source : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thi%C3%A8vres_(Pas-de-Calais) / http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thi%C3%A8vres_(Somme) ) I hope thanks to my analyse you will be able to modify the repository quickly and easily.
