Bourg de Saint-Rémy

From the village of Saint-Rémy, a magnificent Sully oak tree adorns the village square. Sully, King Henry IV's minister in charge of beautifying roads and villages, encouraged the planting of remarkable trees. The 12th-century church has gravestones set into its granite paving. Outside, the semicircular apse of the choir is decorated with a modillion cornice with strange characters.
