This barely surviving plane tree was probably planted in the tiny village of Tamniès, north of Sarlat [in Dordogne], to mark the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. It grows in front of the parish church, from where it was photographed. It is now probably the only living ‘liberty tree’ from that point of the Revolution.
