+1, usually (at least in some cities I checked) "housenumbers" are
identifying a whole parcel (exceptions exist), IMHO better then
assigning them to a single house as Simon suggested it would be to add
them to the whole parcel (I guess you have these also available in
France, haven't you? In the end that's what a cadastre is about...)
