Usage notes
Standard French usage is to number floors in a building without counting the ground floor. The premier étage is thus the first floor above the ground floor, i.e. what is referred to in North America as the second floor, and so on. Usage is divided in Quebec, with some buildings following the North American English practice and others, especially modern and/or government buildings, following the general French practice. À l'étage means on the second storey of a two-storey building.
