This church, dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin: "Santa Croce"), derives its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross is largely based on Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the Milvian Bridge in Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and ended the long period of persecution with the Edict of Toleration of Milan in 312). She made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine) in the early fourth century and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross," on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The Church celebrates the Feast of the Discovery, public presentation, and veneration of the Holy Cross—called the "Exaltation of the Holy Cross"—on September 14th.

It looks great to do it this round but right now I can't REALLY SORRY !!!

The climb is easy to do, as there are always easy passages in between

Avalon is a really pretty town on a hill. There is a shopping street and lots of restaurants. AND: A Shimano specialist workshop with lots of experience and great flexibility to repair racing bikes at short notice! 😀

Even for poor climbers, it is quite doable from Arleuf. Haut Folin from Arleuf via Col du Haut Folin is a climb in the Morvan region. The route is 8.3 kilometers long and covers 295 meters of altitude with an average gradient of 3.6%. At the end of Arleuf, you first lose a few meters of altitude before the D500 leads from Arleuf to Fosse with an initially relatively low gradient; at the end of this modest hamlet, the road then climbs in a few bends to the right along a ridge at 6-8% and opens up the view to spectacular views of the Yonne valley. The road then climbs extremely irregularly through dense forest, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at up to 7%, and it is not easy to find a rhythm. After a total of 6 km, you reach a plateau where, apart from a few ramps, the progress is somewhat flatter and faster. After the D179/D500 junction, continue to follow the D500 towards the summit, and here the route becomes a little more ambitious with a gradient of 5-7%, before finally reaching the summit in the middle of a dense mixed forest and thus a mountain classification of the 2nd category.

Very worthwhile visit to this beautiful church

At the moment (May 24) there is unfortunately construction work on the central square!

Very small chapel with a Franciscan monastery. The monastery was only returned a few years ago. The monks are trying to rebuild the monastery through a project
