The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Sur un socle rectangulaire, il reste les parties inférieures avec les bases des croix du Christ et des larrons. Ce calvaire devait comprendre un certain nombre de personnages, dont le meilleur est Jésus portant la croix. Il subsiste pêle-mêle plusieurs morceaux : Vierge, larron, haut du Christ, une sorte de cul de lampe avec la face du Christ et peut-être les attributs de la Passion.

History
On a rectangular base, the lower parts remain with the bases of the crosses of Christ and the thieves. This calvary was to comprise a certain number of figures, of which the finest is Jesus bearing the cross. Several pieces remain pell-mell: Virgin, thief, upper part of Christ, a sort of corbel with the face of Christ and perhaps the emblems of the Passion.
