    The origins of this impressive crossroads are said to date back to the 17th century; since then it has been destroyed several times - including during the French Revolution - but has always been rebuilt. The crossing, i.e. the intersection of the longitudinal and cross beams of the cross, is designed as a closed circle; the cross beam bears the inscription "Croix de Calvaire".
    The name refers to Calvary, in memory of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Golgotha (this Aramaic word - like Calvaire, which is derived from Latin - means "place of the skull") near Jerusalem.
