    The calvary of remembrance was placed there in 1964 by the people of Latour in memory of their 71 shot during the demonstrations of the 50th anniversary of the August 24 massacres. This cross was the last of a way of the cross starting from the church and criss-crossing the coast of La Salette and the road to Ethe to arrive at this place called "des Rappes" where the shooting took place. The base was made of local stone by masons from the village, but the monument itself is an old tomb in the communal cemetery. This was the tomb of the ancestors of Léopold JACQUEMIN, the sculptor. His daughter Marie had donated the stone. Father HALBARDIER, parish priest of Latour at that time, engraved these few verses by Charles PÉGUY "Here is the hard slope and here is our love" (Source [415].
