How to find a french city INSEE code?
The French INSEE code (or city code) is administratively called official geographic code (in France). It applies to French towns, townships, boroughs, counties, regions, and overseas territories.
The INSEE code consists of 5 digits, the first 2 are the number of the French department the town belongs to and the other 3 are a code given to the town.
dCode retrieves a code from the name of a city, but also to find a city from its code.
Example: 02468 gives the French city Marle
Example: Caen gives the INSEE code 14118
The current nomenclature does not allow for more than 10,000 towns by department.
What is the French city code?
The common code normally refers to the INSEE code, but it can erroneously refer to the postal code.
