A remarkable carved tree decorated with typical Larzac fauna, created by Michel Chevray, on the village square in Le Caylar.
As in many villages in the Hauts-Cantons, the central square of Le Caylar was once adorned with a massive country elm. Unfortunately, it had deteriorated over time and was now suffering from graphiosis. But its death did not mean its demise... In 1987, the municipality called on the services of Michel Chevrav, a Breton sculptor from the Hérault region of France. After more than 2,000 hours' work, he brought the tree back to life by sculpting an imposing reproduction inhabited by animals, shepherds, peasants and plants typical of the Larzac region. An astonishing transformation!

Arbre sculpté
Il faut prendre le temps de regarder chaque petite sculpture. L'arbre est assez original et bien conservé. Mais ce qui vaut surtout le détour, c'est de se promener dans le village et de grimper au roc castel. Belle balade garantie

L'arbre sculpté est situé sur la place du village. Il fait plusieurs mètres de haut et mérite une petite halte. Surtout que le village est situé juste au bord de l'autoroute. On peut même y aller à pied à partir de l'aire d'autoroute, manière de se dégourdir les jambes et de boire un verre au frais quand c'est la belle saison.
