This 15th-century Renaissance cross, situated on the road at the northern entrance to the village, was listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques on 16 June 1926. It features a high pedestal with a resting place for offerings, supported by two brackets. This is followed by a hexagonal shaft, a Corinthian capital and a cross with flowers at the top. The centre of the cross bears the monogram IHS, an abbreviation of the Greek name for "Jesus the Saviour of Man", in a sun-shaped medallion.
