    Hiking

    The Calvary at the place called La Barre (known as the "Whites' Cross") was built in 1839 by the Grimaud family to commemorate the bloody fighting of the Battle of Torfou and the massacres of 1794. The following inscription is engraved on the upright of the cross: "1839/ GRI/ MA/ UD /". It was blessed in 1840 by Father Charles Foyer, priest of Torfou and himself a survivor of this battle.
