Perché sur le dôme du pigeonnier de l’Armoripark à Bégard, ce chêne a la particularité d’être ancré dans l’édifice et enraciné jusqu’au sol six mètres plus bas. La légende raconte que c’est un écureuil étourdi qui aurai semé un gland, il y a plus d’un siècle, conduisant aujourd’hui à cet arbre de 3 m de hauteurs et 1,8 m de circonférence, âgé de près de 150 ans.
