I agree on “carte d’identité”, which is easily translatable as “ID card”. But outside of France there’s no concept of “grande école”, so you can't translate it.

It’s arguable if “mairie” can be translated as “town hall”, because as far as I understand a French “mairie” and a British town hall don’t serve the same purpose.
