"FEUILLE D'AULNE" = Break into Leaf of Alder (alnus rugosa) " Vernos, aulne gave the common noun Alder and a very great number of toponyms: to see chart p. 56. this chart shows that, in the final analysis, the guardian tree of Gallic was the alder, and not the oak. Why so much of places of dwelling indicated by the name of this tree? Let us think of our ancestors seeking, in this Gaule covered with forests, of the sites discovered and offering water resources. These found sites a foid, they settled there. However which is the tree which pushes readily in this type of place? The alder precisely." Place names of Languedoc by Paul Fabre, Bonneton Editions:
