French limestone flooring – charm, character and strength
French limestone flooring brings with it an immense amount of charm, character and strength. Full of history, this material is popular around the world.
French limestone, for centuries, has been used to build vast, historical chateaux and cosy, rural gites across France and was the main building material for much of Paris including famous landmarks such as the Louvre and Les Invalides.
Equally, due to its durability and popular colour pallet, French limestone has been the material of choice for many prestigious buildings across England and the world alike.
Many French limestones are very dense and extremely durable, making the material a perfect choice for flooring in a busy household and for use outdoors as well as in commercial settings. Among our range of limestone tiles, flooring and paving, we have selected a series ofFrench limestonesthat we believe offer charm and character as well as the strength to withstand all that modern life can throw at them.

Our collection includes large-format and traditional, old-looking French stone floors as well as smaller cobbles and pavers.
