Marat d'Avignon® quality
This traditional textile factory continues to perpetuate the most typical Provencal motifs since 1948. All its products are upscale and are made with all the required experience. The Bastide print is particularly representative of the beautiful cotton fabrics that have made the reputation of Provencal table linen. In this configuration "border" of Bastide, only two parallel borders are present on the drops of the tablecloth. The printed fabric is only strewn with calissons on all the remaining surface. This tablecloth with an elegant simplicity and perfect for a square table may also be suitable as a coffee table tablecloth.
The advantage of coating
The anti-stain coating is a thin layer of acrylic that covers the printed side of the cloth for better impermeability. As everyone knows, cotton has a very absorbent power, which is perfect for towels, but a little less for table dressing. The coating neutralizes this property to ensure easier maintenance: in case of stain, a sponge erases everything and the fabric stays clean longer. This treatment is imperceptible and practical, it makes a stain resistant tablecloth. It does not require any extra care during washing. When ironing, simply apply the iron on the back to revive the anti-stain active ingredient.
A wide choice!
Regarding table linen, several sizes and widths of coated cotton tablecloths (or not, it is your choice) are made in the same print, and with the same choice of colors. If you have a round table, there is a “cousin” of this item, still in square format, with framed border: it will be better indicated. Or choose the round tablecloth with placed pattern. As accessories, the napkins and the pretty bread basket will be a very harmonious service that you will love for ever.

All our household linen is made with care in the South East of France with quality textile materials. In order to preserve all the qualities of your article, we recommend you to follow our maintenance advices. This will help you enjoy the features and properties of your house linen longer.
Some tips : to wash your laundry, we recommend Marseille soap, a natural and really effective product that the washerwomen (lavandieres) of Provence used formerly. In addition to being environmentally friendly and harmless to the skin and the environment, it cleans and removes stains perfectly without damaging fabric. You can also use white vinegar as a softener: it's natural too. Do not hesitate and follow the example of Provencal housewives, back to fundamentals: it's good for you, for your home, and for the planet!
For TEFLON treated or coated fabrics: we recommend to iron on the reverse side of the fabric to reactivate the properties of anti-stain treatment.

Choose your tablecloth according to your table (shape and dimensions), how you use it (indoor or in the garden) and ... your preferences!
Which dimensions ?
Whatever the shape of your table, you may start by measuring length and width or diameter.
Once the dimensions known, make sure to add 15 to 35 cm (about 6 to 14 in) on each side for the fallout (30 to 70 cm in total, or 12 to 28 in).
If you do not know the dimensions of the table (for a gift for example), you may count in number of guests: therefore, allow a minimum of 60 to 70 cm (23.6 to 27.6 in) between each guest and apply this simple rule:
- For a rectangular table, the length of the tablecloth should be 150 cm up to 4 persons + 50 cm each time you add 2 more guests (for 10 guests, the length of the tablecloth should be 150 + 3 x 50 = 300 cm)
- For a round table, the diameter of the tablecloth should be 150 cm up to 4 persons + 30-40 cm each time you add 2 more guests (for 8 guests, the diameter of the tablecloth should be 150 + 2 x 40 = 230 cm)
Printed cotton or jacquard woven: a matter of texture
Printed cotton tablecloths and 100% cotton jacquard woven tablecloths are mainly dedicated to the 'art de la table'. They can have an acrylic or Teflon coating to prevent stain permeation. Printed cotton is lighter, for everyday or outdoor use. Jacquard cotton tablecloths are generally more refined, with very elaborate patterns and a texture that makes the drop off more neat. They are appreciated for setting a holiday table.
Jacquard woven cotton and polyester blend tablecloths are more designed for decoration, because this combination of materials and their weaving method allows a thickness close to the upholstery fabric.
In both cases, maintenance remains simple, and machine washing is possible at 30-40 °C, with a recommendation for washing at a 'delicate linen' program for the decorative jacquard woven fabric (because of the threads in relief). We recommend ironing all your tablecloths inside out, to prevent the heat from altering the beautiful colors of Provence. This is strongly recommended for anti stains treated tablecloths and it will reactivate the coating protection.
Is coating useful?
The coating facilitates daily use and spares machine washes by allowing to wipe stains off with a sponge; untreated tablecloths offer a softer touch; Teflon-treated tablecloths offer 2 advantages ... Your choice will depend essentially on 3 criteria:
- Outdoor use: If your tablecloth is mainly used outdoor, we recommend that you choose coated cotton;
- Frequency of use: for daily use, prefer the coating to simplify maintenance. Conversely, for occasional use (party, reception, etc.), we recommend a tablecloth without coating for printed cotton or treated with Teflon for jacquard woven cotton.
- Your personal feelings: If you want to find the touch of 100% cotton, go for untreated or Teflon treated tablecloths.
Please note that our textiles with anti-stain coating use a professional treatment made in France: the EASY PRO process.
