Probably the most prolific & widespread large deciduous trees in central France, these are Sweet, or Spanish, Chestnuts, Castanea sativa. In past times the nuts formed an important supplement to the diet of the local people, being rich in proteins and vitamins, as well as natural oils. Sweet Chestnuts can live for centuries, and there are some growing on the island of Sicily, reputed to have been there at the time of Christ.
