A venerable oak tree named after Professor Léon Frédéric (q), an illustrious Fagnard scholar.
This scholar frequently visited this area.
It was also once a "prandj'lohe" (a place to take a nap, to stop and rest) in Bévercé.

This centuries-old oak (presumably about 300 years old) was named after the famous scientist Léon Frédéricq who was passionate about the High Fens. Unfortunately, the tree does not seem to be able to withstand the test of time for much longer.
