Gros chêne de Murs


The ancient oak tree at Murs where David often drops groups for a mornings painting is one of three oak trees aligned North-South outside the village.  It is thought that the trees are 500 years old and this particular tree has a trunk with the circumference of 6.8m and is 24 m high.  It provides much needed shade for our painting groups and is lovely spot for a picnic with pretty vies through the branches to the village of Murs.
