List higher French structures

Here a list of the highest French structures starting from 60 m (Real S, transmitting, headlight, stoppings, etc…).

The height is heard here like height of construction rather than altitude.

Definitions

Chechmates/turns of radio-remote transmission

The height indicated corresponds to the height of all the structure.

It should be noted that for the majority of these turns, the heights are approximate and are thus round (this is the consequence of a nonsystematic communication of TDF in this field). In this case the value is followed symbol *.

The ANFR (National agency of the Frequencies) communicates the height of the highest transmitting antenna of each turn, it is thus indicated between bracket and is preceded by letter A. Thus the values 250*/(a243) approximately means a 250 m height tower carrying the highest transmitting antenna to 243 m height.

Buildings and religious buildings

Several heights can appear in the table:

an indent (-) between values indicates that the heights vary according to the information sources. Example: Cathedral of Strasbourg: 144-140.

an oblique bar (/) between the values indicates that the buildings support advertizing media or chechmates on which are laid out of the transmitting antennas of radio, television, telephony, telecom, etc… Example: Turn from Europe in Mulhouse 112/100 (with chechmate/without chechmate).

is not taken into account the domestic antennas of reception TV or Radio which one almost finds on each building or house.

an asterisk (*) after the values indicates that it is about an estimate (of research are in hand to obtain a final value).

the heights of the buildings are not always comparable. Certain heights integrate the covered or underground levels of the building and others not (that applies more particularly to the Parisian buildings of Defense, the Face of the Seine and the District Italy XIII).

In France, generally and since the years 1970, the standard height of a floor of a residential building (height under ceiling + flagstone) lies between 2,67 m and 2,71 Mr. Donc, to reach 100 m height, the building must have at least 36-37 levels is 1 RdC from 2,7 to 4 m height, 34-35 stages of 2,7 m and a last technical level between 2,5 m and 4,5 m in the majority of the cases.

In France, as reasons of security standards and cost, the majority of the residential buildings have the ceiling of the last livable stage to less than 100,0 m height of the access " pompiers". In this case the height of these buildings does not exceed the 105 Mr.

the heights of the floors of the office buildings generally lie between 3 and 4 meters (height under ceiling + flagstone).

Abbreviations for the information sources

TDF = Remote transmission of France
OT = Tourist bureau
ST = Structurae
EM = Emporis
ETV = Transmitting Thierry Vignaud
Q = Quid
specific S = Site
SK = Skyscaperpage
W = Wikipédia
PS = Paris Skyscapers
C = Town planning service of the commune
ANFR = National agency of the frequencies
LCPC = Central Laboratory of the Highways Departments.

NB: The presence of one or more information sources is not a proof a height right and true. It happens sometimes that information of the ones is simply taken again by the others without any checking.
