Ältester Baum in Karlsruhe. Sein Alter wird auf ca. 380 Jahre geschätzt. Der Stammumfang beträgt 5,7 m.
Coming back towards the village, the spire you can see is the abbey church of Baume les messieurs, Saint Pierre church.
Baume-les-Messieurs is a commune in the Jura department in Franche-Comté in eastern France.
The village lies within the most extensive of the steephead valleys of the Jura escarpment, the Reculée de Baume. It is therefore almost surrounded by limestone cliffs about 200m high. The River Seille has its source within the Reculée and flows through the village. A short tributary of the Seille, the River Dard, merges with the Seille at Baume; at the source of the Dard, also within the Reculée, there is a notable series of caves.
The village is dominated by the former Baume Abbey, and in consequence has a significant tourist trade, though this mainly involves day visitors. Conducted tours both of the abbey and of the Dard caves are offered. The GR 59 long-distance footpath passes through the village.

Taken on the bridge leading us back into the main body of the village. Here I am having a rare photo opportunity. No damage was done to the bridge during the shoot.
