And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If this is Paris, I read somewhere that the Parisians are suffering the heat mainly because their roofs are made of metal. I forget the exact composition, but it makes their abodes like ovens.
Architecturally nice, but lord, all that lead coated copper standing seem roofing, would not want my little kids and babies near those structures or down stream, super toxic environment for kids and humans of all ages.
That's a mono extended dormer with painted steel standing seam roofing. The mono means it has a single slope roof and the extended means the distance to the roof of origin.
Standing seam metal roofing is the most efficient type in hot weather as it reflects the heat away from the attic, that's why it's a common roofing material in old Florida "Cracker style" homes of the 19th and early 20th centuries. My current office-workshop has silver metal roofing and in the summer the surface is hot to the touch but the underside of the plywood decking in the attic is as cool as a cucumber. It's just one part of a calculated system.
Except for the sewage vents nearby it looks like a bit of privacy in a busy world.

With a bigger window, could be a cozy coding studio.
