Construction of shapefiles with python - geopandas

Project purpose: create shapefiles in Python. Data input: geographical french data with Data Gouv and INSEE statistics websites.

Steps:

1. create shapefiles of France High School (Lycees) -> create_shapes.py
2. create "simples" interactive map based on this shapefile -> create_map.py

The DOM TOM are not included

The Inputs are mainly the IRIS polygons and the x, y coordinates of each lycee

The map show above represents the result. Which is area linked to each High school in France. The rule is : for each IRIS polygon find the nearest lycee then dissolve
