Download geodata for France

For France we keep no copies of our own: every row leads straight to the source — aerial photos (BD ORTHO) and heights from the nationwide laser scan (LiDAR HD) at IGN, plus the cadastre with parcels and buildings at Etalab, per department as a package and per municipality.

🗺️ Cadastre — Parcels, buildings, sections and place names (DGFiP plan cadastral), without owners or land use

34,785 municipalities in 96 departments, per municipality and per department; the files are listed on the department pages, municipalities updated 2014-02-12–2026-09-18.
