DESCRIPTION:The Géoplateforme is the new national infrastructure for geogr
 aphic data in France\, designed to offer administrations a unified\, scala
 ble\, and sovereign environment for storing\, distributing\, and visualisi
 ng geospatial information. It provides a full suite of mutualized services
 —from secure hosting and high‑performance data distribution to ready
 ‑to‑use visualization tools—that allow public bodies to focus on the
 ir missions rather than on infrastructure. On top of these core capabiliti
 es\, the platform also delivers reference geocoding and reverse‑geocodin
 g\, altimetry services\, and route and itinerary computation\, making it a
  comprehensive ecosystem for producing and consuming geodata at national s
 cale. This infrastructure guarantees sovereign and secure access to geogra
 phical data and maps without relying on Gafam services.  \n\nTo build this
  platform\, we relied heavily on open‑source technologies\, combining ma
 ture\, community‑driven components with tools specifically developed at 
 IGN to meet national requirements.  \n\nFinally\, we are committed to open
 ‑sourcing the code behind our infrastructure and progressively sharing t
 he building blocks that power the Géoplateforme and cartes.gouv.fr. Our s
 trategy is not only to publish code\, but to build a real community around
  it\, inviting administrations\, researchers\, companies\, and contributor
 s to shape its evolution. By opening the doors to collaborative developmen
 t\, we aim to create a sustainable and transparent geospatial commons for 
 France—one that grows through shared expertise\, pooled investment\, and
  a collective ambition to strengthen national geodata services through ope
 n innovation.
