Valorization of chestnut

The Castle The chestnut tree is very present throughout the French territory and especially in our region LimousinPérigord where it is even the emblem. It is a tree that grows relatively fast (between 15 and 20 years for a mature tree, compared to 100 years for oak) and without the intervention of man. As the photos show, the latter reforms new shoots (stump discards), often of better quality than the original trunk and with strong resistance to drought. The natural resistance of the chestnut to pests, dry wood insects, time wear and weather makes it a wood perfect for outdoor use but also as lumber (construction and cabinetmaking). So it doesn't need any treatment, which makes it an ecological, natural and sustainable wood like all our products. We purchase short-circuit wood to control its quality and origin while optimizing the cutting of forests, respecting them and the environment. All the chestnut we use comes from our Limousin-Périgord region.
