A key part of Parisian heritage, the rooftops of Paris demonstrate the cleverness of the Haussmann project which shaped the city during the second half of the 19^th Century. Twenty or so metres above the streets, the buildings form a sea of zinc grey roofs from where the capital’s most beautiful monuments emerge.

Through their colours, their shapes, the expertise of the roofers and the stories hidden beneath their attics, the rooftops of Paris have inspired numerous artists. Painters, poets, filmmakers and photographers such as Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Verlaine, Jacques Prévert, François Truffaut and Robert Doisneau have contributed to the unique character of the rooftops of Paris; to such an extent that a bid a was submitted to register them as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

DS #3crossback ROOFS OF PARIS Limited Edition features an originial Carat Grey roof colour to match one of the five colours offered: Pearl White Pearlescent, Bianca White, Perla Nera Black, Artense Grey and Pearl Crystal.

The outside is subtly finished with exclusive badges at the front and on the sides revealing the Parisian skyline and iconic monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Montparnasse Tower and the Sacré Coeur.

The grille features chrome tips. At the rear, the strip on the tailgate is Gloss Black. The 18-inch grey diamond-cut SHANGHAI wheels contribute to the premium impression and to the general character of the model.

In the cockpit, #ds 3 CROSSBACK ROOFS OF PARIS Limited Edition shows a Bastille interior in a new light with a three-material finish on the seats: Perruzzi cloth and Nemesis Grey Silicone with Graphite Grey stitching together with a Toile #ds Black Basalt.
