Cully
Arbre de la Liberté

This plane tree was planted on 24 January 1798, the day Pays de Vaud ("Vaud Land") was liberated from the yoke of the Bernese who had occupied it since 1536. The former Bernese possession became an informal "Lemanic Republic" and then a short-lived "Canton of Léman" and officially became the Canton of Vaud five years later.
