This includes both the attic of an arc de triomphe and a classic apartment building. Here are some of the elements that make up what are now considered to be "attic or top-floor apartments", properties that are in high demand on the real estate market.

Investing in Historic Monuments: A Guide to Heritage Tax Benefits

France is home to approximately 45,000 properties protected as historic monuments, nearly half of which are privately owned. Investing in one of these properties means acquiring far more than a real estate asset: it means becoming the custodian of a piece of France's architectural heritage.
