Atelier Castanède – Artisanat du bois / La Petite Boutique de l’OT
Atelier Castan, a woodworking workshop in Brusque, crafts decorative and functional items from local wood.
Established in Brusque, in southern Aveyron, in 2022, Atelier Castanède has been an artisanal woodworking workshop specializing in the creation of decorative and functional objects made from locally sourced wood.
The raw material comes directly from the forests of Aveyron or from small local sawmills. The wood is largely worked by hand, using traditional techniques, notably with antique tools restored by the artisan to give them a second life.
Among its creations, Atelier Castanède produces chestnut walking sticks for adults and children. Made from chestnut offcuts—a flexible, strong, and water-resistant wood—they retain the natural shape of the branch, giving each walking stick its own unique character.
Made using traditional methods, they are finished as naturally as possible using walnut stain, beeswax, and linseed oil.
Find walking sticks from Atelier Castanède at the small shop in the Réquistanais Tourist Office!
