Hi everybody,

I'm currently working in the village of Lassay-les-Châteaux in France. I'm in touch with the tourism office, and I saw yesterday that they use a handdraw map of the village for the tourists, not very clear.

I was thinking about OSM for giving them a clear and more useful map of their village (which attract quite a lot of tourists). But for this, I would need someone of OSM tagging the buildings of the village (since I cannot do it, I don't currently have a good connection here).

Could someone take this in charge ? I'll complete with the road, name or little corrections. Thanks.

Start to look for OSM friends nearby (a la village) and work together to make the right plotting.

You might also try the mailing list or our form to find local people.

For France there is indeed cadastre information available that can be imported into OSM. However as the wiki pages are in french I can't tell you how to do it.

Google Translate seems to handle it OK, at least as well as Miles Kington would have done.

If this is where you mean http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.43523&lon=-0.49548&zoom=15&layers=M then it I think a group effort is the answer so that many trace a few buildings each.

Yep, that's the village. But I've heard that some people can map all the buildings quite quickly using the "cadastre" ?

Thanks, but I know quite well what a cadastre is ;-). Some people on OSM can use the information of the french one to importe all the building in one time, quite quickly, like someone did it the last time I ask the question here :-)
