What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms area values from are [a], a metric unit of 100 square meters, into arpent, an old French land measurement unit used historically in regions like France, Québec, and Louisiana.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the area value in are [a] that you want to convert
- Select 'are [a]' as the source unit and 'arpent' as the target unit
- Click the convert button to obtain the result in arpent
- Use the conversion factor provided to check or understand the calculation
- Apply results for interpreting land measurements in historical or regional records
Key Features
- Converts are [a] units to arpent using a defined conversion factor
- Supports land measurement conversions relevant to cadastral and historical contexts
- Facilitates interpretation of legacy land documents and colonial land grants
- Browser-based tool that is easy to use without installation
- Useful for agricultural planning, GIS, and land surveying tasks
Examples
- Converting 10 are [a]: 10 × 0.0292492343 = 0.292492343 arpent
- Converting 50 are [a]: 50 × 0.0292492343 = 1.462461715 arpent
Common Use Cases
- Measuring small plots such as gardens or allotments where standard metric units are used
- Interpreting land sizes in cadastral maps and property records especially in Québec and Louisiana
- Translating old land measurement records for use in modern surveying or GIS applications
- Supporting agricultural planning for smaller fields with legacy units
- Analyzing colonial land grants documented in arpent units
Tips & Best Practices
- Understand local or regional variations in the arpent size before precise conversions
- Use this tool for approximate conversions when handling historical or legacy land documents
- Verify measurements with official cadastral records or surveying data when accuracy is important
- Combine with modern GIS data to integrate historical property information effectively
- Be cautious when converting small areas as resulting arpent values may be very low
Limitations
- The arpent unit size varies by region making the conversion approximate
- Some historical sources use different variants of the arpent which may affect accuracy
- Conversion results for small areas may yield very small arpent values limiting practical use
- Users should confirm local definitions in critical applications to ensure correctness
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an are [a] unit?
- An are (symbol a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters, often used for measuring small land plots or gardens.
- What regions commonly used the arpent?
- The arpent was used historically in France as well as in colonial territories such as Québec and Louisiana.
- Is the conversion from are to arpent exact?
- No, since the size of the arpent varies by region, the conversion is an approximation and may require local verification.
Key Terminology
