Olivier Millénaire

The Millenary Olive Tree of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is believed to be over 2,000 years old, making it one of the oldest trees in France — and among the most ancient olive trees still alive on Earth.

Nestled below the medieval village on the “Chemin de Menton,” this monumental olive has been classified as a Remarkable Tree of France since 2016. Its vast, sculptural trunk — a fusion of time, light, and growth — tells the silent story of centuries of Mediterranean life.

Beyond its botanical interest, the tree embodies resilience, longevity, and the artistry of nature, standing as a living witness to millennia of history on the French Riviera.
