About the Parquets Castagné blog

THE Wooden Post is a company blog that will give you a chance to see behind the scenes of Parquets Castagné.

We are a hardwood flooring manufacturer based in the Dordogne, in the south west of France, where we produce flooring from predominantly chestnut and oak.

I am Craig McGinty, author of the English version, whilst company owner Philippe Castagné will be writing on the French language section of the site very soon.

The two sections will link across seamlessly and provide you with an insight into the company as well as a taste of life from the region, industry news and advice on using the internet to help your business.

You can contact Parquets Castagné from all the pages on the site, our details are in the left hand column, or you can leave a comment at the end of a post all I ask is that you keep it ‘on subject’.

I hope you join us in our work and either visit the site regularly or sign up to our RSS feed, this will automatically tell you when we have updated the site.

What is a blog?

I will take a little time to explain exactly what a blog is by using an example:

It’s Saturday night and imagine you have the choice of two restaurants, both offering the same menu, at the same price and with the same interior décor.

The first has a large cut-away in the rear wall so you can view the chefs and even chat to them as they prepare your meal, the other has a door that only opens when a waiter passes through.

So which restaurant are you likely to visit?

And that’s the way our blog works, it allows you to see how we work and gives you the opportunity to get involved via comments that others can read.

Then over time I hope the site becomes a useful resource for people, and Parquets Castagné becomes more than just a hardwood flooring manufacturer.
