Oo. That's gonna be complex. Not sure how to deal with that. You can ask on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal for a property « Wiki monument ID » for creation but not sure if it will be accepted (in fact, pretty sure it won't but I think it's worth the try). 2) Many of our monuments do not have precise addresses like "city, street, > house number", but something like descriptions, e.g. "1.2 km north of the > railway station, 500 m east of the road to (some village), 300 m west of > the cemetery" or "in the centre of the village, in the park behind the > shop". Is there a way to describe this on Wikidata? > It is a bit exotic but there will be no problem to use P969 for that : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P969 (it's a string type so you can put whatever you want). > > In addition, we would be glad to know if there are any tools to migrate > 70,000+ items to Wikidata, as doing this manually would be probably > impossible...

We have already a lot of monuments in Wikidata but not all of them (generally, all monuments with an article on fr.wp have an item on wikidata). We have a project on Wikidata : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_France/Monuments_historiques but nobody there has a high wikidata-fu / technic skills. Cdlt, ~nicolas
