MARSEILLE and LYON VARIANTS

Mail destined for Marseille or Lyon received special treatment from the coding desk operator
who would key in the departement number followed by the city's initial and finally the two digit
arrondissement number. If the arrondissement number had been omitted from the address or if
it was incorrect, it would be substituted in the indexation by KK or 00.
