These classic French tablecloths take their name, “Bastide” from a style of town found in the south-west of France.
Bastides were founded in the 13th and 14th century. They were known as “new towns” as the whole town was created at once. They were thought to be inspired by the Roman “castrum”, with a central square lined with sheltered arcades and often, a covered market place. A church was usually built adjacent to the main square. This commercial hub was surrounded by a grid of streets.
Contrary to popular belief, early bastides were not fortified. It wasn’t until the Hundred Years War between England and France ravaged the area that walls were built to protect the towns. There are around 700 Bastides remaining in France.
With it’s lovely border and evenly spaced patterns, these tablecloths are a worthy reminder of these medieval towns.

Care Instructions
100% Cotton
- Normal machine wash in cold or warm water. Washes beautifully.
- If you want to iron your tablecloth, use a medium or cotton setting with steam
100% Cotton with Stain Resistant Treatment
- Use a wet cloth to clean and wipe off any spills immediately.
- For grease stains, use water and make a paste with some soap. Leave it to sit for fifteen minutes and wash as usual. Savon de Marseille natural soap is excellent for this.
- To sanitise or disinfect your tablecloth, use a weak bleach solution with two tablespoons of bleach in a litre of water. Spray on and wipe down afterwards.
- Occasionally, you may want to wash your tablecloth. Machine wash in cold or warm water. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
- Like any fabric, the tablecloth will crease after washing. Just hang to dry and put back on the table.
- If you really want to get every last wrinkle out, use a medium temperature iron with steam. Always iron on the reverse side. Ironing can help to reactivate the treatment.
- Do not dry clean.
- To avoid mould and mildew, make sure your tablecloth is completely dry before folding and putting away. The coated fabric does such a good job of repelling water, it makes it difficult for any trapped moisture to evaporate.
Size Guide
Ideal Tablecloth Sizes for Square Tables
Help is here to find the best tablecloth to suit your square table. First, measure your table and add the amount of overhang you would like. Remember to add the overhang amount twice to allow for both sides. For a 100cm wide table with an overhang of 20cm, the width of the tablecloth would be 140cm. The ideal overhang is entirely personal preference. Suggested tablecloth sizes below are based on an overhang of between 15cm to 25cm.
