A colleague handed me `paris_late_night_pois`. Our internal map server only takes flat GeoJSON or GeoParquet, so please convert it to `paris_pois.geojson`, one row per placemark. Keep `name`, include the source's classification/grouping as a `category` column, and pull each entry's 'last verified' date out of the HTML blurb into a `verified_date` column as an ISO date. We want to flag stale records.

 Bagging some errors... The regex didn't work because of how the text was handled. Looking back at the KML content:
`<description><![CDATA[<b>% Arabica</b><br/>Cat&eacute;gorie&nbsp;: Cafés ouverts tard<br/><a href="https://example.org/poi/0">Voir la fiche</a><br/>Derni&egrave;re v&eacute;rification&nbsp;: 2026-01-01]]></description>`

The `parse_description` function did:
`text = desc_html.replace('&nbsp;', ' ').replace('&eacute;', 'e').replace('&egrave;', 'e')`
`cat_match = re.search(r'Cat[éè]gorie\s*:\s*([^<]+)', text, re.IGNORECASE)`

Wait, I replaced `&eacute;` with `e`. So `Cat&eacute;gorie` became `Categorie`.
The regex `Cat[éè]gorie` searches for `é` or `è`. If I replaced it, it won't find it.
Also, `Derni&egrave;re v&eacute;rification` became `Derniere verification`.
My regex `Derni[èe]re v[éè]rification` is looking for accented characters.

Let's fix the regex to be more robust or just not replace the accents before regexing if I'm going to use them in the regex. Or better, use the cleaned text.

Actually, the `replace` for `&eacute;` might be too aggressive if I don't account for the fact that I'm then searching for the accented version.

Let's rewrite the `parse_description` to be safer.
I'll also check if `name` is being correctly captured.
In the head output: `"name": "% Arabica", "category": null, "verified_date": null`
The `name` is there, but `category` and `verified_date` are null.

The issue is definitely the regex.
Let's try a regex that doesn't rely on the accents being there or not, or just clean the text and use plain ASCII.

Also, I should check if the `description` column in the KML actually contains the string I expect.
The KML snippet shows: `Cat&eacute;gorie&nbsp;: Cafés ouverts tard`

Let's try:
1. Use `re.sub` to strip all HTML tags.
2. Use a more relaxed regex for the category and date.
