I'm playing around with some of the data and made a map for location vs rating. It's a bit experimental right now.

The higher scores in NE france are clear to see, and not a surprise at this point. Places like metz and tournai have average ratings of above 6.5. Picardy region, hainaut and ghent all sit above 6 on average.
However, I did not realise that we have literally zero confimed entries from the entirety of SW france. We also seem to lack any from luxembourg, the west of switzerland (other than an erroneous entry that has placed "provence" onto the city of provence) and NW Italy. Do we need to seriously up the search for such examples before drawing conclusions? Maybe from Spanish, Swiss, or Italian libraries, or somewhere else. I don't know why so few have been found from those places as the searches that have been used to find entries have not been region or even library specific.
These could be big blind spots, and it may be that scores will also happen to rise in other areas as you move away from regions dominated by "standard" french.
