The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix de chemin, sur la route de Saint-Chély, composée d'un fût circulaire couronné d'un chapiteau à feuilles frisées. La croix proprement dite est au-dessus. Ses branches se terminent par quatre crochets. Le Christ est figuré sur une face, la Vierge à l'Enfant sur l'autre. Sur le fût, un personnage tient une clé et un livre ouvert, sans doute Saint-Pierre. Le tout est en granit.

History
Wayside cross, on the road to Saint-Chély, composed of a circular shaft crowned by a capital with curled foliage. The cross proper is above. Its branches terminate in four hooks. Christ is figured on one face, the Virgin and Child on the other. On the shaft, a figure holds a key and an open book, presumably Saint Peter. All is in granite.
