Millers The story goes that Sully ordered Elm trees to be planted all over France to commemorate the end of the wars of religion. Elm trees were planted in Milhars and one of the gates is called 'la porte des ormeaux' and there is a 'Place des ormeaux'. This seems to have been several trees not one but still known as 'arbres de Sully'.
