Extracted from historic deposits in the Gascogne basin, these Gascogne Beige Limestone Slabs represent a staple of traditional French architecture. Its geological character is defined by a high concentration of fine-grained calcite, resulting in a surface that is both softer and more inviting than standard metamorphic marbles. Unlike Jura Beige from Germany, which often shows large fossilized shells and heavy brown mineral dots, this selection is valued for its remarkably consistent creamy matrix and refined visual texture.

The visual surface is a delicate field of creamy beige, often displaying a soft pink-to-peach undertone that adds organic warmth to interior spaces. Small, dispersed mineral dots and infrequent fine traces add a layer of authentic detail without disrupting the stone's calm aesthetic. In its honed format, the limestone presents a smooth, matte finish that is highly tactile and reduces surface glare, making it a favorite for large-scale floor packages in traditional and Mediterranean-themed designs.

Typical Applications

• Traditional residential flooring — the matte finish provides a timeless, aged aesthetic.
• Architectural wall cladding — provides a warm, non-reflective skin for interior foyers.
• Bespoke stair treads and risers — the consistent density allows for clean edge fabrication.
• Mediterranean-style patios — suitable for interior-to-exterior transitional spaces.

Available Formats

• Finish options: Honed
• Thickness: 15mm, 16mm, 18mm, and 20mm
• Tile sizes: 60×60, 60×30, 40×40, 30×30, and 120×60 cm

Because this is a sedimentary rock, reviewing the current batch for the pink-to-beige ratio is essential. We recommend maintaining a single batch source for large floor fields to ensure a unified finished installation. Standard lead times for French limestone orders are 15–25 days, shipped in reinforced wooden crates.
