How massive and imposing this tree is! Right in front of us, we can see the impressive Le Chêne de Louis XIV. This magnificent oak tree got its name because it was planted in 1638. That year marked the birth of the Sun King, Louis XIV. You can find the Le Chêne de Louis XIV at the entrance to the village of Villers-en-Argonne. The tree’s massive silhouette immediately catches the eye. The Le Chêne de Louis XIV stands as a testament to time, with a circumference of 7.30 meters and a height of 28 meters. Its branches, heavy with age, reach out like arms, casting cool shadows on the ground. It is truly remarkable to think of all the history this tree has witnessed.
