La croix-calvaire se compose d'un socle, d'un fût de pilastres à quatre faces, couronné d'un chapiteau de caractère François Ier. Le tout est surmonté d'une croix. La croix porte d'un côté le Christ, de l'autre la Vierge à l'Enfant.

The wayside cross consists of a base, a shaft of pilasters with four faces, crowned with a capital of François Ier character. The whole is surmounted by a cross. The cross bears on one side the Christ, on the other the Virgin and Child.
