Hi all--
 
I am new to this list and indeed to this field, so excuse me if this
question is naive or redundant.
 
I am looking for:
 
1. names and numeric codes (geopolitical codes?) for France for all
geographic levels (provinces, departments, communes, and anything smaller)
 
2. area (in square kilometers) of each region associated with such a code
 
3. population statistics (just numbers, not demographics) for each such area
 
4. all of the above for Belgium.
 
If you have any idea where I might find this information (besides
Minitel--I am currently trying to get access to that system, but cannot
currently access it), online or off, I would greatly appreciate e-mail
to me at the address below.
 
TIA,
