Would it make sense to index e.g. "Les Trois Fontaines" be indexed as
"Trois Fontaines, Les" to
a) Index it under T instead of L
b) Use the suffix ", <prefix>" to avoid confusion with the usage of
"Streetname (<prefix>)" by street names.

Might this also avoid the clash with street names in the codebase?
(I've cloned the repository, but I've not yet managed to dig into the
code).

Also, the attached index has brought to light an issue where "pommiers
(Clos des)" among others is indexed twice, once capitalised, once all
lowercase. Likewise "sports (Rue de)" vs. "Sports (Rue de)", with the
additional gotcha that it affects the category header in that 's' is
the only category with a lowercase letter.
