Cedre Imperial Meudon
Meudon
This 200-year-old cedar carries more secrets than most museums. Empress Josephine may have planted it, but the real drama came later: WW2 spy Aimée de Heeren drew strength here while plotting to keep Brazil out of the Axis powers and nudge America toward war. Kids' paintings and international pressure recently saved it from the chainsaw, so go pay your respects to a tree that actually changed history.
