Description

97200 is the postal code of Fort-de-France, a city in Martinique (offshore region of France).

I impoted pelias WOF with postalCodes for FR and MQ, so I can find most of french postal codes using pelias /autocomplete, but I can't get any result for "97200". I met this issue on geocode.earth too.

Why is this ?
Thanks!
