Clay tiles for a patio? (Not in a Mediterranean climate!)

[Garald]

(Obligatory preface: got a place (nearly) in Paris, trying to improve it before I move in)

 

I'd like to improve the courtyard I share with my neighbors, in part for my own enjoyment and in part to start out in good terms with them.

 

What about these clay tiles? Look, in particular, at the Penrose tilings.

My main worry here is how well these tiles will fare in a shared outdoors space in Paris's climate (which is only slightly drier and warmer than the south of England). I just got an email from the factory telling me that I should use a product from Monestir (presumably https://monestir.com/suelos-de-barro-exterior/ ) - but will that be enough?

 

(I have neither the time nor the talent for things that need a great deal of upkeep.)

Clay is ok 

As long as it’s only foot traffic

It's only foot traffic. However - I gather then that clay tile would not be OK for a bike garage?

The manufacturer tells me that the clay tiles ought to be washed every 10 days. This sounds like time I don't have. At the same time, maybe every manufacturer of every patio flooring material recommends washing the floor at least once every 10 days...
