Words by Mikaël

Known in Greek and Roman myth from the tales of Apollo and the oracle priestesses of Delphi, this ancient tree was once common in the forests of the Mediterranean until the climate began to shift from moist to dry during the Pliocene era.

In later times it became associated with education, poetry, giving we find its use today in the word baccalauréat.
