Cobblestones or setts… those things will outlast the pyramids. Quality product.

I thought they were called Paving Blocks. Not so long ago they were seen all over NYC, and I imagine some still exist without cover. Some streets had intricate designs. The streets around the Manhattan side of the Queensborough Bridge had nice patterns(ask Simon and Garfunkel), and beneath the el on Jerome Ave. in the Bronx around the el pillars there was beautiful brickwork. Van Dam St. near the LIE was another well-known street paved with stones. Riding a bicycle on some of these streets would shake your dental fillings loose.

Paris still has them in spades. All along the champs elysees and more. The grand streets should have them still imo. It adds so much
