Buying a penthouse in France
Penthouses in France are concentrated in the cities and on the Riviera. In Paris, top-floor apartments in period buildings can offer roof terraces with views across the rooftops, a rare outdoor space in the capital. On the Cote d'Azur, penthouses in Nice and Cannes tend to look over the Mediterranean, with wide terraces designed for outdoor dining through much of the year.
In older Paris buildings, check the size and reliability of the lift, as some were added long after construction, and whether the top floor sits under the eaves. Ask about the service charges and how the building is run, including planned roof or facade works. Parking is at a premium in both cities, so confirm whether a space or garage is included.
