The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Sur un emmarchement circulaire de huit degrés, le fût est en tronc de pyramide très allongé avec base moulurée reposant sur un piédestal d'architecture classique qui supporte la croix proprement dite. Les bras égaux de celle-ci sont de profil chantourné à courbe et contre-courbe, réunis deux à deux par un élément en forme d'arc adossé à chaque branche, pris dans une masse homogène de pierre ajourée entre l'arc et l'angle droit des bras.

History
On a circular flight of eight steps, the shaft is in the form of a very elongated truncated pyramid with moulded base resting on a pedestal of classical architecture which supports the cross proper. The equal arms of the latter are of chamfered profile with curve and counter-curve, connected in pairs by an element in the form of an arc abutting each branch, taken within a homogeneous mass of pierced stone between the arc and the right angle of the arms.
