[Qgis-user] Small towns and villages of France

[Frank Broniewski]

Hi Hamish,

I don't think NE has the appropriate scale for villages, it is far too 
small. Your best bet is probably using data from Openstreetmap. Get 
yourself a recent copy from here [1], look at the point layer and the 
attribute you want is "place" = 'village' or "place" = 'hamlet' [2].
