This is pretty contemporary, juxtoposition of line and panel with a decent soft granite vibe about it.
old school, tough worn stone that im sure would fetch cash if ripped up and used again,worn in and comfortable.
Semi grained panels, not so sure about the wear lines not as popular as some of the other paving but still reliable and firm under foot.
l' pave du brique, town centres have these everywhere and we should be grateful, possibly a more economical option, more of a cultural statement than functional. arguably not particualrly easy underfoot but an institution none the less
