Tips

Fabrice Rigalleau

August 6, 2024

The fruit of chance or the work of a mischievous bird, for almost two centuries in the small village of Cheillé, an oak tree has taken root in the wall of the church. More surprising: inside the Saint-Didier church (the patron saint of grape harvesters), we can guess nothing; the roots, invisible, have crept into the stone. When the Historical Monuments proposed the idea of uprooting this tree, because its weight weakened the bell tower, the inhabitants of the village who had always known it, opposed it. It has sometimes been mutilated, and road or telephone installation work has weakened its roots. But it withstood the shock and still sits above the road today.
It was classified in 2018 among the remarkable trees of France.
