import json

import tkinter

parcelles = [ ]
for num in ["010", "019", "067", "112", "186", "213", "219"]:
with open("C:\Users\esther\Downloads\cadastre/cadastre-74"+num+"-communes.json") as json_data:
data_dict = json.load(json_data)
for k in range(len(data_dict["features"])):
parcelles.append(data_dict["features"] [k] ["geometry"] ["coordinates"])

There is an error because \Uxxxx is used in literal strings to enter unicode characters that you can't type on the keyboard. Python complains because of "\Users". Use a raw string r"C:\Users\esther\Downloads\cadastre/cadastre-74" (note the leading 'r').

thank you gribouillis there is no more mistake

Just for completeness, in addition to raw string as suggested by Gribouillis, you can escape the backslash (i.e. use double backslash
"C:\\Users\\esther\\Downloads\\cadastre\\cadastre-74"+num+"-communes.json" or use forward-slash "C:/Users/esther/Downloads/cadastre/cadastre-74"+num+"-communes.json"
