Chêne à Guillotin, Notable oak tree in Concoret, France.
The pedunculate oak reaches 16 meters in height with a trunk circumference of 9.6 meters and a crown spread measuring 20 meters across.
During the French Revolution in September 1797, priest Joachim Masson found sanctuary inside the hollow trunk of this oak while escaping from republican soldiers.
Local tales mention two barrels of gold hidden within the tree by Éon de l'Étoile, a medieval figure who distributed wealth to people in need.
The oak stands isolated south of La Rue-Éon hamlet, surrounded by protective wooden barriers to prevent soil compaction and root damage from visitors.
The tree's survival story involves a spider that spun a web across the hollow entrance, concealing a hiding priest from revolutionary forces.
