Let's play with city names

With 36,000 French communes, it's almost obligatory for French and foreign towns to have the same name. If you know of any others, let us know and we'll add them to the article.

It goes without saying that the game applies only to cities located in Passadocie, i.e.:
- Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur
- Corse
- Nouvelle Aquitaine
- Occitanie
- Auvergne Rhône Alpes
