The French have mastered the fine art of tree trimming. Since my first visit to Paris in 2007, I have been fascinated at the way they manicure the trees in the gardens. I've learned since, this technique is called pollarding. Love seeing it in the fall at Tuileries.
A fellow tour member called it "tortured trees".
