The adjective haut, when used in the meaning "tall" or "high", is sometimes placed before and sometimes after the noun:
C’est un homme de haute taille.
Il y a de hautes montagnes dans cette région.
À marée haute, l’eau vient jusqu’ici.
What is the rule for when haut should be placed before or after the noun? For example, should one say
Il y a beaucoup de hauts bâtiments à Francfort.
or
Il y a beaucoup de bâtiments hauts à Francfort.
You should place "haut" before the noun, just like other adjective that describe height like grand, petit, long etc.
C’est un homme de haute taille.
haute can not describe taille because it already means "high size" in this context. You should say "grande taille"
À marée haute, l’eau vient jusqu’ici.
marée haute is considered as a subject on its own rather than subject+adjective. Also, haute marée isn't wrong although this is not really used
