Hiking
In the middle of the forest of Saint-Sever, at the crossroads of the old Roman roads Falaise-Granville and Vieux-Avranches, a cross has been erected by individuals to guide travelers. Its five-sided granite base indicates the directions.

Hiking
Each of these crosses, which the hiker encounters, clearly visible in the fields or—as here—in the shade of the trees, is a symbol of remembrance of the crucifixion, but also of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "With us on earth, there is His memory, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward our homeland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the order and Doctor of the Church)
