Orme Saint-Gervais, Notable tree near Saint-Gervais church, Paris, France
The field elm stands 15 meters tall with a circumference of 1.9 meters in front of the Saint-Gervais church western facade.
The original medieval elm marked a location for tax collection and justice administration until its removal in 1794 for military equipment production.
The phrase 'Wait for me under the elm' originated from this location, where residents gathered for meetings and celebrations after Sunday mass.
The elm received national recognition as a remarkable tree of France in 2005 and remains accessible via Hotel de Ville metro station.
Iron balcony decorations at 4-12 rue François Miron preserve the tree's image through metalwork created by a craftsman in 1733.
