Entresol?? Doesn't match the definition.
I had never heard of an "entresol," so I looked it up. This is what the dictionary says:

"entresol /ĕn′tər-sŏl″, ĕn′trə-, ŏn-trə-sôl′/
noun

The floor just above the ground floor of a building; a mezzanine. A low story between two higher ones, usually between the ground floor and the first story; mezzanine.
Similar: mezzanine A mezzanine; an intermediate floor in a building, typically resembling a balcony. Most often used to refer to the floor immediately above the ground floor and below a higher floor. "

So, basically a loft. This was confirmed by looking up photos of "entresol", which show a type of loft or partial upper floor that overlooks the ground floor.

In the game, however, it's a type of glass ceiling...?

Very confusing.

"entresol" is a french word meaning : entre = between + sol = floor
So basically, it's a surface in a building that is between 2 floors (not having a full floor height).
The correct translation in english is "mezzanine" (I think) but mezzanine means something else in french (it's an indoor balcony with full floor height).
This game is a mix between several languages badly traduced.

Yes, I know what the actual definition is and the French translation (I lived in Montreal for over two years). I gave the dictionary definition in my original post, to demonstrate that the decs seem to have the word confused with something else. What they call an “entresol” seems to be merely a glass ceiling.

The issue is that it’s confusing players who are trying to complete one of the Dine Out jobs that calls for an entresol, which many of us are trying to place in the floor between the top floor and the ground floor, but the game wants it in the *roof*. A glass ceiling in the roof, which is not am entresol.
