Conversions for All
France, like the majority of countries in today's world, uses the metric system for measuring everything from weight to temperature. However, even among those countries that use the metric system there are differences in the ways that, say, clothing sizes are described. And if you come from the US or the UK (even though the UK officially uses metric units for most things nowadays) you might be used to radically different ways of measuring everything from length to weight, shoe sizes... even temperature!
The facts at your fingertips
That's why AngloINFO has an INFOrmation Page, in the Shopping & Style category of The AngloFILE devoted to Conversion Tables for Living in France. On that page you should find all the key figures to help you convert between US/Imperial and Metric measures. Conversions offered include:
- Length
- Area
- Weight
- Volume
- Temperature
- Clothing
With these handy tables and links to other online converters you should find it easy to work out what size something really is - whatever it may be.
And if you want to compare prices across currencies, don't forget AngloINFO's Foreign Exchange Rates Converter.
