Bathhouse placement rules on a plot
France · Auxiliary · usually permanent
A bathhouse or sauna is treated as a garden annexe (declaration from 5 to 20 m², permit above 20 m²), placed on the boundary or at least 3 m away when the PLU sets no rule; if wood-fired, also follow your PLU and local fire orders.
Permit and notice
5–20 m² declaration; >20 m² building permit
Placement rules
A bathhouse has both outbuilding setbacks and a sanitary distance to the dwelling.
Boundary setback
Setbacks from plot boundaries and neighbouring buildings.
Important limitation
The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
