Nicknamed Sully lime - named after Henry IV's minister - this remarkable tree is more than 420 years old! Planted near the church, it is a plant symbol of a historical fact: the attachment of Ain (then Savoyard Bresse) to the Kingdom of France in 1601.

What is the connection between a 17th century minister and a Bugey tree? Why is it planted on the church square? Why is it a lime tree?

If the trees of Sully have become rarities, Bugey is lucky to have two of them, in two villages separated by a short distance. Indeed, it is possible to admire the equivalent of the Sully d'Innimond lime tree in the village of Ordonnaz.
