A few steps from the chapel of the God of Pity stands a beautiful calvary. A pedestal stands on a plinth, followed by a column with a particularly interesting decoration on its shaft. At the front and rear, there is a small sundial with dihedrals and numerals, and the date 1606. Also at the front is a shield without a coat of arms. To the right, on a console, stands a statue of a cephalophore (severed head) bishop. Dressed in an alb and cope, he holds his head in his hands, topped with the mitre, while holding his crozier. This figure is probably Saint Didier, martyr and third bishop of Langres. Below and opposite, a rectangular plate engraved with lines and a few numbers resembles a calendar. The capital at the top is a simple basket of plants. It supports a cross showing Christ, one hand wide open and the fingers of the other folded, and on the reverse, a Virgin and Child dressed in a long tunic.
