What is a french balcony?

A French balcony, also known as a Juliet balcony, is a small, ornamental balcony that does not protrude from the building, but instead is a railing or balustrade affixed to the exterior of a window or French doors on an upper floor.

French balconies typically have floor-to-ceiling glass doors that can be opened to let in fresh air and provide a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. They are commonly found in European cities, particularly in France, where they are a popular architectural feature in historic buildings and modern construction alike.

French balconies are often seen as a stylish and practical way to add charm and a touch of elegance to a building, while also providing a safe and secure place for residents to enjoy views and fresh air without the need for a full balcony structure. They are commonly used in apartments, hotels, and residential buildings where space is limited and a traditional balcony is not feasible.
