The Calvary Cross, in the Fontainebleau and Gâtinais Biosphere Reserve, is a prominent landmark, located on a high, rugged point, offering stunning views of the surrounding forest and countryside, and marking a historic pilgrimage route.

The origins of this imposing wayside cross are said to date back to the 17th century. Since then, it has been destroyed several times – including during the French Revolution – but has been rebuilt time and again. The crossing, the intersection of the cross's longitudinal and transverse beams, is designed as a closed circle, and the transverse beam bears the inscription "Croix de Calvaire."
The name refers to Calvary, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Golgotha (this Aramaic word, like the Latin word "calvaire," means "place of skulls") near Jerusalem.
