Description

These 2 lime trees were planted on the western ramparts. They are known as the "Bragard trees", after the man who probably planted them and who owned the house and garden nearby. It was near this spot that the annual "pig market" was held at a place known as "l'agasse". There are 2 ways to get to Place Saint-Georges from here:From the left, take the alleyway that runs past the former "Auberge de l'étoile d'or", mentioned as early as 1639, and ends at the Arvo.From the right, following the small alleyway that narrows sharply before leading to the square. This is the Cardon lane. At the beginning of the 18th century, General Baron de Rechteren ordered the citizens to plant a large number of lime trees in the town and on the ramparts.
