From the ochre hue of South of France to the red pavers of Burgundy, terra cotta has been at the heart of French country flooring for centuries. These floors, hand-molded hundreds of years ago (17th to 19th century), bring warmth and character to any surroundings. Please note, no two floors are identical. In fact, it is the variation of hue and color which makes antique terra cotta such a unique and impressive surface.
