Also due to over logging of their old growth Oak and Beech Forests, France no longer has the old growth trees big enough to build beams (aka, Trees) to original specs in those sizes

So you missed this part

In France there are plenty of oaks, the wood will not be a problem. They could use old trees and leave more space for young ones to grow.

In the Troncais forest (in central France) there are oak trees that are several hundred years old

I’d heard a couple people say otherwise, maybe those trees are protected

That’s where God hides the truffles
