French Limestone has a unique warm, open texture giving it 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 years of use, there are areas that have become 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.

With the characteristic textures found in French Limestone, this product is particularly well suited and attractive for use around swimming pools.

Ordering Information
Antique French Limestone pavers are available in eleven different sizes. They look most authentic when laid in a random pattern. When planning small or irregular areas, it may be best to draw the area to scale in squared paper and draw a combination of slab sizes to suit that setting. For best effect, avoid long unbroken, jointing lines and having several flags of the same size next to each other.
