French Tile Photos - Photos of Tiles in France
France lays claim to having been the birthplace of cement tile—around the mid-19th-century—so the amazing breadth and depth of tile styles to be found there comes as no surprise. Happen into an old bistro in Paris, perhaps, and there's bound to be cement tile on the floor that has stood up to decades, if not, a century or so, worth of use.
Are you a tile-phile planning a trip to France? Take some photos of your finds and share them with us.
