Truchet Tiles

Tune

A square grid of quarter-circle pairs. Each tile flips by seed, so the sheet reads as one continuous maze of arcs.

Sébastien Truchet, 1704

Sébastien Truchet’s tiles, here as quarter-circle pairs on a square grid. Each cell flips by seed. Because opposite corners always match, the arcs join into one continuous maze.

1D fold
A single row of tiles. Repeat the row downward and the maze covers the sheet.
