19. Black Pine

This is the most famous conifer in our latitudes.

This pine has evergreen needles grouped by 2 in a common sheath. The needles fall but never all together. So the tree is never completely bare.

Parc Saint-Pierre :
The Chapelle Saint-Pierre, which once belonged to the Maison du Grand Saint Bernard, gave its name to this park and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the chapel disappeared during the Reformation (16th century) and was replaced in 1762 by a building that now houses the Fondation Verdeil (special education).

The park, which was already mentioned at the beginning of the 20th century, is home to a wide variety of tree species, including pine, sequoia, yew, cedar, ash and monkey's despair.
