Rochechouart -Le chêne de Bramefan 1. The Bramefan Oak
RochechouartIn the heart of the Rochechouart forest stands a majestic tree at the crossroads: the Bramefan oak. Let’s listen carefully? Can’t we hear the stag bellowing its hunger? That’s where its name comes from! It is said that animals used to come here to bellow when they were hungry.
2. The plane trees at Peyrassoulat
ChéronnacOn the banks of the Tardoire, at a place called Peyrassoulat, as you go down the path you can already hear the Tardoire running through its bed. This is where 2 plane trees over 250 years old await you at the end of the path, in the ruins of an old forge. It operated from the Middle Ages to the middle of the 19th century, supplying steel to the navy in Ruelle, Charente. Enjoy the site and its typical flora, one of the trees is listed, 40 metres in span and 6 metres in circumference. Take a break and observe the many species of fern in the royal osmunda, the carpet of periwinkle and the wild St John’s wort.

Village Martyr Oradour-sur-Glane 3. The tree of freedom
Oradour-sur-GlaneOn the former church square of the Martyred Village of Oradour-sur-Glane stands an oak tree, a symbol of life in the midst of petrified horror. It was planted in 1848, at the advent of the Second Republic. On 10 June 1944, it was very lucky, as all around it, houses were burning, and it bears no trace of them.
