France has a unique history of units of measurement due to its radical decision to invent and adopt the metric system after the French Revolution. In the Ancien régime and until 1795, France used a system of measures that had many of the characteristics of the modern Imperial System of units but with no unified system. There was widespread abuse of the king's standards, to the extent that the lieue could vary from 3.268 km in Beauce to 5.849 km in Provence. During the revolutionary era and motivated in part by the inhomegeneity of the old system, France switched to the first version of the metric system. This system was not well received by the public, and between 1812 and 1837, the country used the mesures usuelles – traditional names were restored, but the corresponding quantities were b

rdfs:comment	Les anciennes unités de mesure françaises ont été nombreuses et variées. Sous l'Ancien Régime, plusieurs tentatives ont existé afin d'uniformiser les mesures. Il faut attendre la création du système métrique lors de la Révolution pour qu'un système uniforme remplace les mesures anciennes mais il faut attendre près d'un demi-siècle de plus pour qu'il s'impose réellement.La Boisselèe est extrêmement variable en fonction des cantons. En Maine et Loire elle peut varier de 3a30 à 5a50. On considérait que c'était la superficie ensemensabla avec un boisseau.... Mais comme le boisseau variait.... (fr) У Франції, перед введенням десяткової метричної системи в 1799 році, існувала добре визначена стара система. В неї були також деякі місцеві варіанти. Наприклад, льє міг варіюватись від 3,268 км в до 5,849 км в Провансі. Між 1812 та 1839 роками більшість традиційних одиниць вимірювання продовжували вживатись в метрифікованих адаптаціях Mesures usuelles. (uk) In Frankreich wurden vor ihrer endgültigen Abschaffung zu Gunsten des metrischen Systems zahlreiche Maße und Gewichte verwendet. Auch die frühe Entwicklung des metrischen Systems selbst ist eng mit der Entwicklung des Einheitensystems in Frankreich verbunden. Vor der Französischen Revolution verwendete man in Frankreich eine Vielzahl von Maßen und Gewichten, die viele Ähnlichkeiten zu den historischen Maßeinheiten der angrenzenden Länder teilten und noch heute in den Einheiten des angloamerikanischen Maßsystem fortbestehen. Die Einführung des metrischen Maßsystems stellte einen radikalen Bruch mit den zuvor verwendeten Einheiten dar, sodass sie nur langsam und gegen großen Widerstand verlief. Zahlreiche traditionelle Einheiten wurden auf Basis des metrischen Systems neu definiert und somit (de) France has a unique history of units of measurement due to its radical decision to invent and adopt the metric system after the French Revolution.
