Oak-chapel (France)

If you go to the village of Alluville-Belfoss, in the French department of the Seine-Maritime, you can see a pretty interesting attraction, known as the Oak-Chapel. There is a long history associated with it, many events and legends, but, above all, oak is a place of pilgrimage during a great church holiday.

Oak-chapel is famous throughout France, as the oldest oak in the country. As for his age, there are arguments, and no one can call a precise figure to the village. For example, in the XIX century it was more than 800 years old, and a little later, after reading the sources and records, it began to be assigned to 1200 years. Be that as it may, the French are proud of him as the oldest, and the Oak-chapel since 1932 is a historical monument.

To this day, the Oak-Chapel is a living tree. So far, he annually releases foliage and gives acorns. In 2008, to improve the conditions of inspection of the tree, boards and gravel backfilling around the oak were replaced.
