Old Paris Architecture Five floors of a Parisian dwelling. This cross-section shows the mixed classes inhabiting a single Parisian building circa 1845. Wealth and rank are in reverse relationship to the floor occupied: while a rich hautebourgeois couple lives on the premier étage, a more modest family lives above them, while impoverished students and working class families occupy the cramped quarters under the roof. |
