This imposing holm oak is approximately 500 years old. We do not know if it was planted on the occasion of the birth of the future king of France François I in 1494, on the occasion of his coronation in 1515 or on the occasion of his death in 1547. What we do know, however, is that it measures 17 meters high with a trunk circumference of 5.5 meters. Classified as a “remarkable tree”, it was even elected “tree of the year” in 2014 by the National Forestry Office.

The typical and aptly named "Chemin de la Fontaine" leads to a magnificent wash house, a jewel in the town centre. Its stone dome shelters the spring which swells the “Ribonneau” and “Fontenelles” streams; these form the “Brameri” which, a few kilometers further south, becomes “the Bourru”. In the 16th century, it would have carried this inscription in Latin: “I nymph of this place, guardian of this fountain, I sleep to the soft murmur of this water. Whoever you are who comes to tread on this resonant stone, respect my sleep. Drink or wash, but in silence”.

This small town of less than 400 inhabitants is located in a hilly and wooded area. It is part of one of the stages of the GR 360 long-distance footpath. It is worth going past the abbey and the church while crossing the town! Both were built at the beginning of the 12th century.
