The ban on patio heaters: what they're not telling you

👉 Terraces prohibited? Not really.

We often hear: “Patio heaters are banned in France”.
Another sweeping generalization. Here's the truth :

✅ The ban only applies to terraces on public property (e.g., sidewalks in certain large cities)
✅ It is not national , but decided by certain municipalities (e.g., Paris, Lyon…)
✅ Private terraces , courtyards , gardens , balconies , verandas , etc. are not affected

And most importantly:

This measure is primarily political and symbolic , poorly understood by the general public and often poorly implemented.

At Fargau , we offer compliant, economical and targeted solutions to heat what is permitted … and in an intelligent way.
