One of the named trees in the grove is the Cèdre de Lamartine, said to be the one beneath which the French Romantic poet Alphonse de Lamartine sat during his 1832 visit to Lebanon. His travel book Voyage en Orient described the cedars in lyrical terms that helped fix the grove in the European Romantic imagination — and made it a fashionable destination for nineteenth-century Grand Tour travellers.
The tree is marked with a small plaque on the main path through the grove. Whether Lamartine actually sat under this specific tree is doubtful, but it's the right age and it does the job.
