The Venon oak, Historical oak tree in Venon, France
The Venon oak grows on a hillside within private pastureland, reaching about 18 meters tall with a notably thick trunk. The tree's substantial size and robust structure dominate the landscape around it.
This oak took root roughly 300 years ago and has weathered centuries of storms and environmental changes. In 2017 it received official recognition as a Remarkable Tree of France.
The oak holds deep meaning for the Venon community as a gathering place where residents come together and share their stories. It stands at the heart of village life and shapes how people connect with their surroundings.
The oak sits on private land, so visitors need to be respectful and follow any posted guidelines. Staying on designated paths helps protect the tree and the surrounding pastureland from harm.
The tree participates in an ongoing monitoring program where specialists regularly check its health and condition. Multiple local organizations collaborate to ensure it receives proper care for the years ahead.
