Historique
Calvaire de style fleurdelysé à nimbe. Autour du nimbe carré se déploient les pétales des fleurs de lis évidés, déterminant huit lobes ajourés. D'un côté est représenté le Christ crucifié ; de l'autre, sont figurés deux personnages côte à côte, l'un posant la main sur l'une de l'autre. La tradition orale les identifie comme Adam et Eve.

History
Calvary of fleurdelysé style with nimbus. Around the square nimbus unfold the petals of the fleurs de lis hollowed out, determining eight perforated lobes. On one side is represented the crucified Christ; on the other, are depicted two figures side by side, one placing a hand on one of the other. Oral tradition identifies them as Adam and Eve.
