@Virgile Deville have you thought further how you're gonna implement the geocoding to certain area?
I think the best option would be to use the "bounding box" parameter available e.g. with Here. There may be service specific differences regarding this (as there is also the other discussion to change Here to something better).

Change "here.com" for "Open Street Map"
So far we have implemented it simply just by customizing the geocoding validator and adding a suffix to the geocoding queries such as "{query}, Town, Country". It works better but we've noticed this also causes some of the results to be misinterpreted by the geocoder. E.g. someone had put an area name of a city in South Finland and it was geocoded to Lapland, even when the are name was correctly written and the area exists in that city.
