    Emblematic cross of the forest of Fontainebleau and symbol of Gaullism. This cross is above all a tribute to the French resistance during the 2nd World War. Originally the cross of Lorraine is however a symbol of the Templars associated in particular with the crusades.
    This place was chosen because there operated a cell of resistance fighters who had installed a searchlight here to connect with planes from overseas. This cross serves as a commemoration for the 5 dead and 18 deported from this operation.
