A tool for quickly identifying the French academie that a place belongs to.
This tool is purely there to avoid doing two google searches, one for the departement that the town is in, then one for the academie that that departement is in. Uses geo.api.gouv.fr along with some conversion tables for departements taken from Wikipedia.
(Note that Caen and Rouen have since been merged into Normandie.)
In your Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/tomcontileslie/acatool
cd acatool
sudo python3 setup.py install
The acatool command takes a single string as argument, referring to a village/town/city name.
$ acatool "orsay"
Request commune: orsay
Commune interpretation: Orsay
