Faux of Verzy

The Faux de Verzy is an unusual forest of gnarled, stunted, and twisted beech trees. These trees are a mystery. This is the only place in the world that they grow, and scientists can't figure out why they grow the way they do, with their branches curving back down to the ground. The 'faux' trees of Verzy are listed in the Lonely Planet top five of natural curiosities in France.

It reminds me of a children's book that I used to have called Ivy Cottage. You look so funny in there.
