There is no coordinates in the french official database. It was all
geolocate manually on Wikipedia (but we have some tools to help ; plus
it's probably easier in French since the municipalities are small).
We decided not to put « approximate » coordinates because it's not
possible to distinguish after if the coordinate are approximate or
not…
