The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Croix du 16e siècle replacée sur un soubassement moderne. Elle se compose d'un socle mouluré, d'un fût flanqué de petits contreforts et de la croix proprement dite, à section prismatique et choux frisés aux extrémités des bras. Le Christ crucifié occupe une face ; la Vierge mère se trouve sur l'autre. Entre eux et au même niveau sont quatre personnages placés sous les bras de la croix. Chacun d'eux, ainsi que la Vierge, repose sur un cul de lampe spécial. Au-dessous de la Vierge est un écusson.

Cross of the 16th century replaced on a modern base. It is composed of a moulded plinth, of a shaft flanked by small buttresses and of the cross proper, of prismatic section and curled cabbages at the ends of the arms. The crucified Christ occupies one face; the Virgin Mother is found on the other. Between them and at the same level are four figures placed under the arms of the cross. Each of them, as well as the Virgin, rests on a special corbel. Below the Virgin is an escutcheon.
