Near the town centre, outside the "Café de l'orme", there was what is believed to have been the oldest elm tree in Europe. Planted in 1350, this Field Elm "Ulmus minor" died in 2010 after finally succumbing to Dutch elm disease. Legend has it that girls deemed promiscuous were forced to stand naked upon a barrel beneath the tree for a day. One unfortunate, unjustly accused, died of shame, the tree annually producing a corona of blanched leaves in her memory.
