Hyphen usage in French place names.

Could one of our native French speakers please tell me what the convention is on hyphens in French place names. RAF records don't generally use any hyphens but when I check the locations using maps the names are often hyphenated but not always.

ie

Cap Gris Nez or Cap-Gris-Nez (or Cap Gris-Nez)
Biville sur Mer or Biville-sur-Mer
Cap de la Hague or Cap-de-la-Hague
Saint Germain des Vaux or Saint-Germain-des-Vaux

Can anyone tell me what is the correct format.

Cheers

Andy Fletcher
