, with small leaves, aged 7 or 8 years should thus restore its "splendor of yesteryear" to the park of the castle of Compiègne, estimated the management of the place.
For the same reasons, the liner of the driveway will also be renewed.

"The periods of drought and heatwave, especially that of 2020, have accelerated the process of withering away many trees", explains the management of the castle, which wishes to limit the risk of tree falls on walkers in the event of strong winds.
