A remarkable and emblematic tree of the city of Clisson, this umbrella pine naturally leaned over to get the light from the other side of the street, then twisted to avoid the roof of the house opposite. But this inclination is not without consequences for the tree and its surroundings. In recent years, the wall on which it is installed has been cracking and the pavement below is increasingly heaving in places. Cables were installed to hold the specimen but they were no longer sufficient to prevent a possible collapse.
However, the solution has been found: the trunk is now surrounded at its base by a colored metal frame made by the sculptor JF Buisson and financed by the Hellfest festival on behalf of the municipality.

And by the way, it's quite a steep climb from the sides of the castle...
