Do you mean it is "mixed base?" The ares are only the residue from an integer number of hectares? And the centiares (which are square meters, if that's what they are) are residue from integer ares? (I've never seen anyone use centiares, so I don't know whether you keep or drop the "i", centares? It might get confused with a centaur.)
That is pretty shocking usage from the country that claims to have brought the metric system. I don't speak French. ________________________________ From: Michael Payne <[email protected]> To: U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, June 21, 2011 7:58:28 AM Subject: [USMA:50701] Land area France I'm looking at buying a piece of property in France. I notice on the documents that they list the area as Hectares (ha) ares (a) and ca which I'm thinking are centiare? Anyone on this list have any idea if this is correct. On another note, I'm looking for someone to translate a 15 page document into English, I'm willing to pay for the service. Mike Payne
