Croix de mission

Mission cross - 1850 - Stone (H.: 1.90 m).

At the end of the 19th century, after the period of de-Christianization following the French Revolution, the Catholic Church sought to evangelize the countryside. Mission crosses bear witness to this movement. In 1995, the extremely damaged Saint-André cross was restored on the initiative of the villagers.
