Road cycling

Junction between the Col des Sauvages, Cassettes, Pilon and many mountain bike trails. We can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding forests and great tranquility on a very small road, it is literally peace.

Some might pass by this small, sacred monument without a second glance, but perhaps a passing biker might pause for a moment before the cross and, in keeping with ancient custom, utter a "Praised be Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ died for us on the cross, for the Son of God took this death upon himself out of love for us. Christiane Völkel offers a further reflection on this: "I have discovered that it benefits my relationship with God to at least be ready for those moments when God needs me to express his love [today]."
