The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce pilori consiste en un bloc cylindrique de marbre gris. Il est dressé à l'entrée du pont qui franchit un ruisseau, tout près du mur de clôture de l'ancienne abbadie. Au-dessus d'un écusson en relief sont encore visibles les attaches des chaînes et les traces de leurs frottements. L'écusson présente un écartelé d'une fleur de lys et d'une vache, surmonté d'un chef chargé d'un bâton de justice et soutenu d'une champagne portant le millésime 1682. Les fleurs de lis royales, associées aux vaches, emblême du Béarn, attributs qui se voyaient sur les anciennes monnaies locales. L'ensemble est surmonté d'une croix moderne.

This pillory consists of a cylinder of grey marble. It is raised at the entrance of the bridge which crosses a stream, very close to the enclosure wall of the old abbey. Above an escutcheon in relief are still visible the attachments of the chains and the traces of their rubbing. The escutcheon presents a quarterly of a fleur-de-lis and a cow, surmounted by a chief charged with a bâton de justice and supported by a base bearing the date 1682. The royal fleurs-de-lis, associated with cows, emblem of Béarn, attributes which were seen on the old local coins. The whole is surmounted by a modern cross.
