Ifs de La Haye-de-Routot, Ancient yew trees in La Haye-de-Routot, France.

Two massive yew trees stand in the cemetery of Notre-Dame church, each measuring over 10 meters in circumference at their base.

The eastern yew received its Sainte-Anne chapel installation in 1866, while the western yew's oratory was established in 1897.

The trees participate in local traditions including the July 16th Saint-Clair fire ceremony, managed by a fraternity founded in 1496.

Visitors can access both trees in the village center, with the western yew containing an active prayer space decorated with candles.

The hollow trunks of these millennial trees function as religious spaces, with one containing a chapel and the other housing an oratory.
