Limits and good practices
Good practices
- Store postal codes as strings so leading zeroes are preserved.
- Keep the seed and dataset version with repeatable fixtures.
- Treat the city/postal-code list as curated coverage rather than an exhaustive postal database.
- Use synthetic values only in development, QA, demos and documentation.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the address exists
- A coherent format and city/postal-code pair do not prove that the invented street address is deliverable.
- Expecting every French commune
- The embedded dataset is a curated sample across metropolitan and overseas France, not a full La Poste database.
- Converting postal codes to numbers
- Numeric conversion can remove a leading zero from French postal codes.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the format of a French address?
A typical French mailing address places the recipient first, then the street or delivery point, an optional additional line, and finally the five-digit postal code followed by the city. France appears on the last line for international mail.
Are the generated French addresses real?
The street lines are deliberately synthetic. City, department and postal-code pairs come from a curated reference list, but the tool does not verify that the complete address exists or is deliverable.
Can I export French test addresses as JSON or CSV?
Yes. JSON is convenient for API fixtures, while CSV works well for CRM imports, test spreadsheets and seeded databases.
What does the dataset seed do?
The same seed, filters, count and dataset version reproduce the same address records, which is useful for deterministic QA fixtures.
Does the generator include all French communes and postal codes?
No. It contains a selected reference list across metropolitan and overseas France. It is not a replacement for La Poste address data or an official commune database.
Can these addresses be used for shipping or billing?
No. Use them only for forms, demos, screenshots, integration tests and other non-production scenarios.
Why should a French postal code be stored as text?
French postal codes contain five characters and may start with zero. Storing them as strings preserves the full value.
