Hmm. It was a while ago but I remember being able to send some sort of
message about some road names Google maps had wrong. Oh, and our
village/hamlet was missed altogether. Funny, it was wrong in the same way
as a printed map I have.

They fixed it. Is there no feedback option in Earth or Maps?

Oh the crazy French: they can be bothered to give roads numbers but not
names! Only our motorways and some dual carriageways are unnamed, or
would be better off that way.
