Chestnut
The frame for our
buildings is made of chestnut
coming from the coppiced
woodland of Limousin.
Traditionally the
small chestnuts are used by the
Limousin farmers
for stakes, fences or furniture.
We use trees that
are 15 to 20 years old whose
diameter is wide
enough to draw our timber
wood from it.
The majority of our
supplies is certified with
with the
environmental quality control label
PEFC.
Chestnut coppiced woodland
The chestnut is one
of the most durable woods.
Without any
treatment it resists to fungus and insect attacks.
