This calvary is part of a group of crosses on the outskirts of the village, which once marked out the blessed and protective area in which it was permitted to build, prior to the expansion of modern housing estates. This sturdy calvary, which bears no commemorative inscription or dating, appears to date from the First Empire, like all the crosses rebuilt after the Revolution. Above the astragal of the top capital, it bears the initials P and B in mirror image, probably those of the donor. On one side of the cross is Christ on the Cross looking out over the village, and on the other is a much more original subject: the Virgin, carried by a cherub, holding the Christ Child (whose head is broken off) on her right arm.
