    This crossroads is called "the Christ of Saclay" but no one knows why! Indeed, there is a Christ - a representation of Jesus Christ crucified - in a corner of the crossroads. This wooden statue is rather dilapidated, and left abandoned, among the trees. A statue of Our Lady of Lourdes is at her feet. And while the millions of euros are invested in the real estate bubble all around, the crucified, him, contemplates our busyness.
