How much energy is absorbed by hugging a tree?
Then if this tree has several centuries of life, you would never want to detach yourself from it.
This is a centuries-old Plane tree in the Venetian countryside.

The German town of Bernkastel-Kues is located in the Moselle valley, halfway between Cochem and Trier. This attractive little town, often referred to as ‘the pearl of the Moselle’, is known for some of the finest wines produced in Germany. The town is located on the very edge of the river tightly enclosed by some dramatic steep-slope vineyards. The town is actually divided in two, with Bernkastel to the east of river Moselle and Kues to the west. The villages are joined by a bridge.
Bernkastel-Kues is located on the Middle Mosel in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The town's major attraction is the medieval marketplace surrounded by well-preserved gabled timber-frame houses from the 17th century. Google
In the heart of Cotignac on the Cours Gambetta on a recent Sunday morning when there was a bric-a-bac sale throughout the village
We stopped for a coffee a bit further up from where this photo was taken after visiting the post office and pharmacy. We were with Bob of course and bringing her into the heart of the village where there are people and dogs milling about is good training for her. Despite her being a tad over 1 year old we are still training her to co-exist happily with other dogs without barking at them and children and cyclists too as she gets anxious when she's close to them and barks too much and with cyclists, would chase them if we didn't have her on a leash. Life is never a dull moment with her! :-))
Je ne sais pas comment on reconnait un "arbre remarquable", mais ce platane est magnifique, énorme tant pour son envergure que pour sa beauté .. et il n'est pas seul dans cette magnifique propriété d'amis.
I don't know how you recognise a "remarkable tree", but this plane tree is magnificent, enormous both for its size and for its beauty ... and it is not the only one in this magnificent property of friends.

London plane tree is a hybrid cross of American sycamore and Oriental planetree. It is a large deciduous shade tree that is generally pyramidal when young and becomes open and spreads with age. It may grow to a height of 70 to 100 feet tall and 60 to 75 feet wide. The light brown outer bark exfoliates to reveal a creamy olive inner bark. The leaves are alternate, 3 to 5 lobed, medium to dark green, and may have coarse marginal teeth. The flowers bloom in clusters in the spring and are not particularly showy. The male flowers are yellow, and the female flowers are reddish. The female flowers produce a fuzzy, rounded, bristly fruit ball that ripens to brown in October. The fruits tend to persist through the winter. The tree is a member of the Platanaceae family.

Platanus × acerifolia, Platanus × hispanica, or hybrid plane, is a tree in the genus Platanus. It is often known by the synonym London plane, or London planetree. It is usually thought to be a hybrid of Platanus orientalis (oriental plane) and Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore). Some authorities think that it may be a cultivar of P. orientalis.[citation needed]
The London plane is a large deciduous tree growing 20–30 m (65–100 ft), exceptionally over 40 m (130 ft) tall, with a trunk up to 3 m (10 ft) or more in circumference. The leaves are thick and stiff-textured, broad, palmately lobed, superficially maple-like, the leaf blade 10–20 cm (4–8 in) long and 12–25 cm (5–10 in) broad, with a petiole 3–10 cm (1–4 in) long. The young leaves in spring are coated with minute, fine, stiff hairs at first, but these wear off and by late summer the leaves are hairless or nearly so. The flowers are borne in one to three (most often two) dense spherical inflorescences on a pendulous stem, with male and female flowers on separate stems.
The fruit matures in about 6 months, to 2–3 centimetres (0.8–1.2 in) diameter, and comprises a dense spherical cluster of achenes with numerous stiff hairs which aid wind dispersal; the cluster breaks up slowly over the winter to release the numerous 2–3 mm (0.08–0.12 in) seeds. The London Plane is one of the most efficient trees in removing small particulate pollutants in urban areas.
It shares many visual similarities with Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore), from which it is derived; however, the two species are relatively easy to distinguish, considering the London plane is almost exclusively planted in urban habitats, while P. occidentalis is most commonly found growing in lowlands and alluvial soils along streams.
Platanus occidentalis is a species of Platanus native to the eastern and central United States. An American sycamore tree can often be easily distinguished from other trees by its mottled bark which flakes off in great irregular masses, leaving the surface mottled and gray, greenish-white and brown. The tree can grow up to 40 m (131 ft) high and 1.5 to 2 m (4.9 to 6.6 ft) in diameter. Leaves 10 to 23 cm (4 to 9 in) long.

Plane tree / Platane (Platanus)
Main Cemetery / Hauptfriedhof, Frankfurt-Nordend, Germany
Le long du quai de la Bruche (à proximité des Ponts Couverts) se trouve le plus vieux platane de la ville de Strasbourg. Il y a plus de 300 ans, un immense noyer était à cet endroit mais il ne résista pas au rigueur de l'hiver de 1704. Il fallu l'abattre. L'actuel platane est son authentique successeur
Le quai de la Bruche avait, jusqu’à la Révolution française, pour nom Wasserzoll. Ce nom était dû à la taxe qui était alors appliquée sur les marchandises entrant dans Strasbourg par voie d’eau. Ce droit de péage était prélevé par la ville à cet endroit.
Along the Quai de la Bruche (near the covered Bridges) is the oldest plane tree in the city of Strasbourg. More than 300 years ago, an immense walnut tree was there, but it did not withstand the rigor of the winter of 1704. It had to be felled. The current plane tree is his authentic successor
The Quai de la Bruche had, until the French Revolution, for the name Wasserzoll. This name was due to the tax that was then applied to goods entering Strasbourg by water. This toll was levied by the city at this location.
