METRIC UNIT CONVERSIONS FORUM
We set up the conversion calculator below with a view to helping people thinking of buying a house in France. And the popularity of the calculator has grown such that there now over 50,000 people every week using it. This is great. However, as a result we do receive many questions every week on matters related to metric conversion, but we do not have the resources to answer all these questions in the detail we would like.

We have therefore set up a forum, and would ask that all questions about the calculator be directed there, where we will try to help. We will also post any announcements about the calculator in this forum
