French term or phrase: débit
En France, le gaz est distribué par Gaz De France (GDF) dans la majorité des villes. On trouve de rares exceptions à Strasbourg et Bordeaux, où des régies distribuent le gaz.

Gaz De France possède des réservoirs de stockage souterrains, et alimente ses abonnés par différents réseaux. GDF fournit un **débit de gaz**, à une pression donnée, en limite de propriété.
