The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Sur un soubassement de forme évasée, reposent trois socles : calvaire au centre, à gauche et à droite, Saint-Jean et la Vierge. Le grand fût en pierre est noueux, le Christ se détache sur un rayonnement, les extrémités des bras de la croix sont terminées de couronnes royales. La croix est contemporaine de l'église.

History
On a flared base rest three plinths: calvary at the centre, to the left and right, Saint John and the Virgin. The large stone shaft is knotted; the Christ stands out against a radiating background; the ends of the arms of the cross are terminated with royal crowns. The cross is contemporary with the church.
