Supposedly the cadastre includes street names and house numbers, however of the 27 million buildings (plus 6 million wall=no) only a minuscule number have further information attached, matter of fact there are more nodes with addresses tagged in France than there are building outlines with house numbers. Why this is the case, I don't know, but house numbers etc. would be of far more immediate benefit to our data than just building outlines.
