Computerised Cadastral Plan

The cadastral plane is an assembly of approximately 600,000 sheets or boards each representing a section or part of a cadastral section.

It covers the whole of France, with the exception of the city of Strasbourg and some neighbouring municipalities, for historical reasons related to the occupation of Alsace-Moselle by Germany between 1871 and 1918.

PCI Vector and PCI Image

For practical and technical questions, the Computerised Cadastral Plan exists in the form of two complementary products: the PCI Vector and the PCI Image.

The PCI Vector gathers the leaves that have been digitised and covers most of the territory.

The PCI Image gathers the sheets that have only been scanned, and completes the cover.

Coverage

34,700 municipalities are covered by the PCI Vector, out of a total of nearly 35,000. Plans for other municipalities are available in the PCI Image.

Strasbourg and neighbouring municipalities are currently not managed in PCI format.

The overseas communities of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthelemy are present and historically integrated into the department of Guadeloupe (971).

Available formats

PCI Vector data is available in several formats:

• Format EDIGÉO in projection Lambert 93;
• Format EDIGÉO in projection Lambert CC 9 zones;
• DXF-PCI format in Lambert 93 projection;
• DXF-PCI format in projection Lambert CC 9 zones.

PCI Image data is available in TIFF format.

Data Model

Each municipality is subdivided into sections, themselves subdivided into sheets (or boards). A cadastral sheet has plots, which can support buildings, as well as many other objects of dressing or management.
For more information, please refer to the standard documentation EDIGÉO.

Made available

The data are made available in two ways:

• Direct download from the sheet or in the departmental archive. These URLs should be used if you want to automate data recovery and get the best performance.
• Via an online tool for municipal archives. The data is then produced on the fly.

Both modes of provision are available at cadastre.data.gouv.fr.
