Le Chêne de la Ronde - Exceptional Trees on Waymarking.com

[FR] "Ce vieux chêne particulièrement branchu a poussé hors forêt, sans doute dans une haie car il a, dans sa jeunesse, été manifestement taillé en têtard, d’où ses branches très régulières. L’une d’entre elles a été coupée le 13 septembre 1986 et malheureusement une autre, à l’opposé a été coupée à la fin du XXè siècle.[...]
Un second chêne se trouve à 750 m au nord-ouest à vol d’oiseau du premier, au sud-ouest de la clairière de l’ancien champ de foire des Essards, à l’est du chemin menant du champ de foire à la Rapinerie. Plus jeune, il possède des branches tout aussi régulières." (extrait du livre Arbres remarquables en Touraine)

A second oak is 750 m north-west in a straight line from the first to the south-west of the clearing of the old fairgrounds of Essards, at the east of the trail leading from the fairgrounds Rapinerie. Younger, he also has regular branches. "(From the book Arbres remarquables en Touraine)
