Tomettes/Floors

This is the current flooring in the living room/kitchen area. I thought I should carry on using this flooring which is popular and widely used in this region as in many other parts of France. I have also look at something called Pierre de Bougogne which is a lovely cream coloured stone originating from....Burgundy. I have visited two suppliers and they both have great stuff. La Belle Province is the stone mason with the Pierre de Bourgogne www.nicolas-bonnet.com. And the tomettes can be found at www.terres-cuites-de-courboissy.fr. I am also looking at using the tomettes in the new bathroom in place of tiling. Although the tomettes are porous, it can be treated with some good water repellent product and it should work just fine in a bathroom.
