génoise eaves detail
It's the course(s) of curved tiles at the eaves of a Roman-tiled pitched roof. The more courses there are, the better the perceived quality. You can now buy them in pre-formed fibreglass. So much for quality !

I didn't cheat by reading your description first; I answered from my own knowledge. Promise ! I hadn't thought, though, that the taller the taller the building, the more courses needed. Sounds logical.
