Are you familiar with the term relais de poste? "Historically, a relais de poste was a crucial part of the mail and travel system. It was an inn or station along a postal route where horse-drawn mail coaches could stop to get fresh horses. These establishments also often provided food, drink, and lodging for the drivers and any passengers." Now, let's imagine 17th Century France at a relais de poste. Can you imagine cobblestone paths leading up to this relais de poste? How about imagining Napoleon wearing a path of his own on these said cobblestones as he frequented this relais de poste? Imagination be gone...for we have procured the antique French limestone cobblestones that Napoleon often walked upon as he patronized a specific relais de poste in Harville, France. This is a spectacular salvage. These antique French cobblestones were hand-hewn and split into beautiful, random shapes that one can install as a cobblestone like centuries before. They hold onto a rich patina where horse hooves and boots can still be heard against its surface if you listen closely! And finally, exquisite warm and cool French limestone color variations from chestnut to gray and cream allow for a refined and elegant interior design color palette. Cut to a 1 1/4" thickness, these antique French limestone cobblestones would catapult a special interior into a realm of historic significance.
