🧩 What Is a French Pattern Set?

A French Pattern is a combination of four tile sizes arranged in a repeating, modular layout. The beauty of this pattern lies in its natural, flowing look—it avoids rigid lines and adds visual movement to floors and outdoor surfaces.

🔹 Standard French Pattern Tile Sizes:

A full French Pattern set usually consists of:

• 1 tile – 16" x 24" (40 cm x 60 cm)

• 2 tiles – 16" x 16" (40 cm x 40 cm)

• 1 tile – 8" x 16" (20 cm x 40 cm)

• 2 tiles – 8" x 8" (20 cm x 20 cm)

These 6 tiles make up one full set. The pattern is then repeated across the entire surface.

🏡 Where Is French Pattern Used?

The French Pattern is popular in both indoor and outdoor spaces because it creates an Old-World, Mediterranean feel. Common applications include:

• Patios & pool decks

• Garden pathways

• Interior floors (kitchens, living rooms)

• Hotel lobbies, restaurants, and courtyards

It's especially striking in tumbled travertine, where the rustic edges and natural tones enhance the pattern’s charm.
