Cartes is a Python library providing facilities to produce meaningful maps.

Cartes builds on top of most common Python visualisation libraries (Matplotlib/Cartopy, Altair, ipyleaflet) and data manipulation libraries (Pandas, Geopandas) and provides mostly:

- a **comprehensive set of geographic projections**, built on top of Cartopy and Altair/d3.js;

- an **interface to OpenstreetMap Nominatim and Overpass API**. Result of requests are parsed in a convenient format for preprocessing and storing in standard formats;

- beautiful **default parameters** for quality visualisations;

- **advanced caching facilities**. Do not download twice the same content in the same day.

The cartes library is a powerful asset to **publish clean, lightweight geographical datasets**; and to **produce decent geographical visualisations** in few lines of code.
