The four were part of an initial group of nine protesters, who had set up camp on Thursday and unfurled banners from the roof reading "Children need a dad and a mom" and "Parental abduction, justice is accomplice".
Five of the men, however, came back down a short while later.
But the four who remain do not appear likely to end their protest anytime soon.
“We are determined to stay up here,” Frederic Foroughi, told AFP by telephone. “We have put up a tent on the terrace, we have duvets and something to eat.
“We took turns in sleeping, two at a time,” said Foroughi, who claims he can only see his daughter every other weekend.
“The group are demanding “shared parenting” and that “a child’s right to have both their parents is recognized by the courts”.
