Tilleul de Pérouges, Natural monument in Pérouges, France.
The ancient linden tree stands at the center of Place de la Halle, supported by wooden pillars due to its hollow trunk structure.
Planted on April 21, 1792, following the French Revolution, this linden tree remains one of the few trees that survived political cutting during the Restoration period.
The linden tree serves as a central gathering point in the medieval village, where the local inn once placed metal tables beneath its branches.
Visitors can observe the conservation efforts implemented by the National Forest Office, including wooden support structures that maintain the tree's stability.
The trunk's interior has developed a hollow structure over its 232-year existence, requiring specific preservation methods to ensure its continued survival.
