Croix du Pas Destrech

The cross of La Pas Destrech is in the Causse du Larzac. Located on the edge of the cornice, along impressive cliffs, it offers a dizzying panorama over the town of Millau.

The La Pas Destrech cross offers a magnificent view of Millau.

The Pas Destrech Cross, which hikers encounter here on the summit, is a truly remarkable small sacred monument. Approaching it from behind, it appears to be made of black metal, but then one realizes that this is only the basic framework for the wooden beams of the actual cross. Its shape is also rather unusual for a summit cross: the longitudinal and transverse beams are of equal length, with each end provided with another short beam, giving the viewer the impression of a square floor plan.
