Description

Near the aquaduct at Pont de Gard there are several olive trees with gnarled trunks and twisted branches. A plaque has been set in the ground by these trees which reads(in French so hopefully the translation is correct): “I was born in 908 AD in Spain and was planted by the Pont du Gard in 1988 – 1080 years later.” I love trees with gnarly trunks.
