AI AgentFrequently asked questions
What is the elevation of Paris in feet and metres?
Paris is at 40 m, or 132 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 200 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 26 m to 130 m.
Is Paris at high altitude?
No. At 40 m (132 ft), Paris is below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), where altitude has little effect on most people.
What is the highest point near Paris?
Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 130 m (427 ft) at 48.87316, 2.39931. The lowest is 26 m (84 ft) at 48.85160, 2.28259.
How is the elevation of Paris measured?
From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 81 points within 200 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
