As a matter of interest, what was the particular French term used for the cut stone, as I also want to look for somewhere near me where I can buy. Thanks for the help

Une/deux face plate, or face taillée.
They may also be under carrosserie, or terrassements . Don’t forget WOM , asking on building sites and keeping your eyes peeled. Bonne chance .

There’s a very useful translation website called reverso which takes whole phrases and gives you a contextual translation as, for example, my looking up of “dressed stone” shows.

I’d say pierre de taille. Do you not call it ashlar in English?
