le premier etage is directly above le rez-de-chaussee. In french , le premier etage is the second floor in a 2-story house, this word is kind of like a pun but it just means something its not, which in the us it is really the first floor.

In a French-speaking country, "le premier étage" refers to the floor above the ground floor, while in the US, the first floor is typically the ground floor. This difference arises from the way floors are numbered, with the ground floor considered "floor 0" in French-speaking countries and "floor 1" in the US.
