The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La base de la croix était autrefois encastrée, pour trois faces, dans les maçonneries d'une grange et du mur de clôture d'un jardin. Les risques d'effondrement des bâtiments l'ont faite transportée sur la place de l'église en 1932. La croix est posée sur un socle gothique de section octogonale. Au centre du croisillon est portée la date de 1623.

History
The base of the cross was formerly set, for three faces, into the masonry of a barn and the boundary wall of a garden. The risks of collapse of the buildings caused it to be moved to the church square in 1932. The cross is set on a Gothic base of octagonal section. At the centre of the crossarm is borne the date of 1623.
