    received about the availability of a French gazetteer:

    Diana Maynard suggested using the gazetteer included in Gate

    Marcirio Silveira Chaves pointed me to TGN @

    Jesus Jimenez sent me nice list of websites which don't contain a
    gazetteer, but are nonetheless very interesting to look at:
