Hiking
This tree is officially included in the list of remarkable trees of Ain.
Catalpa in the grounds of the Château de Salvert in Attignat:
This catalpa has a twisted architecture and imposing dimensions, with a circumference of 4.20 m.
The presence of trees of distant origin in château parks is a testament to the fashion for English-style gardens in the 19th century, where colonial exoticism was fashionable.
The creation of these bourgeois parks gave rise to a new discipline of horticulture: landscaping.
From the book "Remarkable Trees of Ain."
