The Ministère de la Culture's notice

François Dufort, propriétaire et aubergiste, acheta une concession perpétuelle en 1853. A sa mort, son fils lui fit faire un monument personnalisé. La pierre tombale, de forme irrégulière, n'est pas surmontée d'une croix mais d'un échalas. Ce type de monument, qui allie des éléments expressifs à des représentations réalistes, s'applique rarement à l'évocation de la vie quotidienne.

François Dufort, proprietor and innkeeper, purchased a perpetual concession in 1853. At his death, his son had a personalized monument made for him. The tombstone, of irregular shape, is not topped with a cross but with a stake. This type of monument, which combines expressive elements with realistic representations, is rarely applied to the evocation of daily life.
