This thousand-year-old oak enjoys special protection, commensurate with its fame.

This thousand-year-old oak tree looks like something out of a fairy tale, with its two tiny chapels, one at the foot of the tree, in the hollow trunk, dedicated to Notre-Dame de la Paix, the other at the top, called the Chapelle du Calvaire or Cellule de l’Ermite. During the Revolution, it was saved from the anti-clericalism of the revolutionaries by the cunning of a schoolteacher, who did not hesitate to dedicate it to the "Temple of Reason" to save it from being cut down. The old oak is listed as a "Remarkable Tree" and enjoys special protection commensurate with its fame.

Le chêne d'Allouville est considéré comme le plus vieux chêne de France. Il serait contemporain de Charlemagne et fait l'objet de tous les égards. A l'intérieur du tronc se trouvent 2 chapelles que l'on peut visiter en empruntant un escalier extérieur.
