R+l
"Dans un ensemble immobilier visé dans l'Exposé ci-dessus, des locaux d'activités et de bureaux d'une surface de 1.518 m2 environ, se décomposant comme suit : 1.138 m2 de bureaux en rez-de-chaussée et R+l, 380 m2 d'Activités en Rez-de-chaussée."
I think R+l is the second floor, but I am unable to confirm it.
All suggestions are welcome

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I am astonished that PG considers I am "splitting hairs" by pointing out this extremely important difference in usage across the Atlantic, for the benefit of current and future users of the glossary!
The submission of "a separate answer" would seem to be justified by the fact that another answer made no reference to this very important distinction; neither did Asker specifically request an EN-US answer only. It would seem that "everyone" is NOT necessarily aware of the difference, which I believe can never be pointed out enough.
As I remarked in my peer comment below, just imagine a US guest with reduced mobility booking a 1st floor room in a European hotel, assuming it was on the ground floor, only to find on arrival that the only access was via a flight of stairs.
I realize that many people's thinking is very US-centric — but we do need to remember that things are sometimes different in other parts of the world!

Thanks, Charles! Yes, i recently had to traslate a www where they wanted me to find a 'compromise' solution!! As it involved several floors, it got very complicated!

Lori Cirefice
: right, and 380 + 1138 = 1518 so there is no doubt that they meant "R+1"
