The cross was located on the wall of the cemetery. In 1968, at the request of the architect of the Bâtiments de France, it was transferred inside the church. It is a cross with straight and squat arms which features richly ornamented decoration: the Christ on one face and the crowned Virgin and Child on the reverse.
