René Viviani Square houses the remains of a 12th-century well and the oldest tree in Paris, a black locust from North America. The tree is named after the man who planted and acclimatized it in 1601, Jean Robin, the king's botanist.

In the Grosbois regional forest, a majestic oak tree stands proudly among the heather, well marked by an explanatory sign. This century-old oak tree, nestled in the heart of the forest, is a true natural monument and shows the richness and biodiversity of this wooded area. This site is accessible via a hiking trail.

The Square du Temple was a refuge for the Knights Templar in the 13th century and was the scene of bloody punishments because the Templars were considered heretics. Today, luckily, peace has returned. The Square du Temple is an English garden adorned with many exotic trees (American honey locust, ash tree, ginkgo biloba) and remarkable trees (18m high Byzantine hazel or Japanese pagoda tree). The fauna seems more alive than ever in this large garden. You will discover birds of all kinds refreshing themselves in the pool or in the artificial waterfall constructed from rocks from the Fontainebleau forest. https://parisjetaime.com/eng/kultur/square-du-temple-elie-wiesel-p1027

Beautifully landscaped green area designed in the English style with a water feature and waterfall, lawns, rare trees and a monument in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie Wiesel, which he received for his role model function in the fight against violence, oppression and racism.

A stone's throw from Saint-Michel and the Île de la Cité, Square Viviani is appreciated above all for the superb panorama it offers of Notre-Dame de Paris. But many do not know that here stands a Robinia from North America and planted in 1601, today recognized as being the oldest identified and dated tree in the city. This species of tree also bears the name of the person who introduced it to France, Jean Robin, botanist and arborist to the king, and director of the current Jardin des Plantes (formerly called the Jardin des Apothecaires. Another Robinia, planted in 1636, is also visible there) In 2010, a circular bench was built around the tree to protect it and allow it to breathe properly. It is also an opportunity for visitors to enjoy the pleasant landscape in the shade of this tree that is over 400 years old. You will also notice that its leaning silhouette seems tired. Although wobbly, this Robinia is nevertheless in perfect health! Cleverly hidden under a mass of ivy, a cement structure supports the trunk of this tree that is over 15 meters high, while the height of a Robinia does not generally exceed 10 meters.
