🇬🇧 English

This French regulatory order updates and corrects multiple prior decrees that define specific geographic zones where mobile network operators (Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile, Orange, SFR) must provide voice and data coverage under the government's "couverture ciblée" program. It replaces, rectifies, or deletes numerous zone entries across years 2019–2024, adjusting GPS coordinates (in RGF93/Lambert-93), points of interest, site identifiers, and the number of required sites. Changes affect zones in regions including Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Grand Est, Corse, Île-de-France, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and others. Several zones are removed entirely while others receive updated location data or modified operator obligations. The decree was published on 31 March 2026.
