French
Limestone
is unique in appearance, its warm, open
texture giving an olde-country look. This
conglomerate of fossil shells and particles,
mixed and highly compressed over thousands
of years, could be described as "nature's
own concrete mix." The result  is
a distinctive and durable material. Often
the fossil shells can be seen in the surface
of the flags.
The
Antique
French Limestone pavers we offer are
commonly referred to as Dalle de
Bourgogne,
and are extremely rare.
The original stone came from an 18th
century farmhouse in the Provence region
of France and has unusually fine characteristics.
The original chisel marks are
still highly visible on the surface,
but after centuries of use, there are
areas that are worn from foot traffic.
It is no wonder this is the most
sought after paving stone in the world.
Our reproductions have faithfully
replicated all the warmth and charm
of Dalle de Bourgogne.
