Chêne aux Loups, Remarkable tree in Les Granges-le-Roi, France
The Oak of Wolves displays six distinct trunks that emerge at three meters from the ground, reaching a total height of 36 meters.
In 1754, a pack of wolves marked local history, leading to organized hunts where residents used animals as bait to protect the region.
The name of this tree reflects the relationship between residents and local wildlife, recalling the historical presence of wolves in the Dourdan forest.
A marked hiking trail leads to this 250-year-old tree, which has a trunk measuring 4.05 meters in circumference.
A central cavity between the trunks retains water that flows down the bark, creating permanent natural markings.
