The oak of Allouville is a real curiosity. The approximately 1000-year-old oak is hollow inside and accommodates two rooms, the lower one is even a chapel. Parts of the tree are covered with wooden shingles and a wooden staircase winds around the trunk. A real tree house, so to speak.

The Allouville oak is a pedunculate oak located in the center of the village of Allouville-Bellefosse, in the country of Caux, in Seine-Maritime. Its exact age is not known: estimated in the 19th century to be 800 years old, a later estimate attributes it to 1,200. It is reputed to be the oldest oak in France1.

Its height is 18 m and its circumference reaches 15 m at 1 m from the ground2. Located in the immediate vicinity of the steeple of the village church, it houses two tiny chapels within it.

Magnificent oak in the Seine-Maritime department whose exact age is not known, but which is estimated at 1200 years old, which would make it the oldest oak in France. This tree is worth the detour and is a very pleasant place to rest for a few moments.
