Chestnut (bud)

Latin Name: Castanea sativa

Botanical Family: Fagaceae

Plant part: Bud

Origin: France

The majestic chestnut tree, whose rough, cracked bark bears witness to its long history, dominates forests throughout Europe, Asia Minor and North America. It prefers rich, well-drained soils, and can live for several hundred years.

Its large, serrated deciduous leaves are similar to those of the oak, but narrower and more elongated. In spring, it produces white or pink flowers in long clusters, attracting bees and butterflies. In autumn, its thorny bugs contain delicious chestnuts, rich in carbohydrates and minerals, which are highly prized in cooking.

A symbol of strength and wisdom, longevity and generosity, chestnut is often associated with prosperity and abundance. Its hard-wearing, durable wood is used in joinery and cabinetmaking for furniture and handicrafts.

A common sight in the Ardèche, the chestnut tree reveals itself to us on magnificent forest walks, offering its benevolent shade and tasty fruit to the walkers and animals that populate its surroundings. An unforgettable encounter with a tree emblematic of our regions.
